some may say that cogidubnus was a coward because he supported the Romans instead of the Britain's. cogidubnus provided the Romans with a safe base at fishbourne... and because of this the Romans rewarded him with roman citizenship and a palace.

Very little is known about him. He is mentioned by ancient historian Tacitus as being a client king who of the Romans who was loyal. A surviving inscription says that he dedicated a temple to Neptune and Minerva. The Romans called him Tiberius Claudius Cogidunsus, which suggests that he was given Roman citizenship. It is not even fully certain when he reigned. Tacitus mentioned him in a work he published in 98 AD and said that he was 'loyal down to our times.' This is vague time frame is the only one available.
