Years: 50 - 50
The settlement the Romans have named Verulamium was known before the Roman arrival as Verulamion (perhaps meaning "[settlement of] Uerulamos [Broad-Hand]" in Brittonic), the capital of the Catuvellauni tribe.
It had been established by their leader Tasciovanus and in this pre-Roman form, is among the first places in Britain recorded by name.
The Roman settlement is granted the rank of municipium in about CE 50, meaning its citizens have what are known as 'Latin Rights', a lesser citizenship status than the colonias possess.
