In a recently published inscription preserved in the Celio Antiquarium in Rome (AE 1995, 231) G.L. Gregory correctly recognized the Priscus, legate of a British legion, who refused under Commodus the imperial acclamation (C.D. 72 (73), 9, 2a, p. 290 B.), without proposing for him a more precise identification. As a matter of fact, the legion mentioned in line 5 is not the II Ị[talica] but the IIỊ [Augusta]. This enables us to identify Priscus with T. Caunius Priscus, governor of Numidia in AD 185-186 and consul suffectus in 187. A new dating is proposed also for its imperial acclamation, probably occurred before the arrival in Britain of Ulpius Marcellus in 182 or 183, and for each of the positions he held between his British legation and the consulate. KEYWORDS: T. Caunius Priscus, refusal of imperial acclamation, Britain, Commodus, Ulpius Marcellus.

Gambash, G. (2016), ‘Estranging the Familiar: Rome’s Ambivalent Approach to Britain,’ Impact of Empire 11: 20-32.2016 •
Pomponius Mela would have been well aware of the dictates of the Claudian court in which he was writing. His presentation (3.6.49) of the conqueror of Britain as victor ignotarum gentium was a matching suit to ubiquitous contemporary representations of recently invaded Britain as a savage, unfamiliar island, lying beyond the boundaries of the orbis terrarum. Yet, by the first century CE, Britain was hardly the remote and barely-known ‘land across the ocean’ that Caesar had visited. Claudius invaded a region already moving towards Romanized forms of civilization, familiar, for example, from Gaul; one strongly attached to Roman politics of power, be it through informal personal relations, or by means of official action, such as diplomatic exchanges, religious dedications, and coin issues. The article underlines this long-enduring Roman ambivalence regarding Britain, and ultimately aims to explain a whole century of atypical imperial inaction.

A British legion stationed near Orléans c. 530 ? Evidence for Brittonic military activity in late antique Gaul in Vita Sancti Dalmatii and other sources2011 •
Several recent books lead the reader to believe that Vita sancti Dalmatii, written in c. 800, records a legio Britannica (a British army) stationed near Orléans in c. 530. As this paper demonstrates, the only correct detail of this purported record is the word legio, and this may well have a non-military connotation. This paper includes the first English translation of the relevant sections of Vita sancti Dalmatii, and a discussion of its possible interpretations in the context of Franco-Brittonic relations. It also examines more broadly the evidence for Brittonic military activity in Gaul proper from 450 to 560, and suggests that, irrespective of the interpretation of Vita sancti Dalmatii, the importance of the Britons in late antique Gaul has been overlooked.
