Caradog

The lack of respect for the name Caractacus is most unseemly, in my opinion. He led many Britons against the Roman hoards who dared march upon these green Isles! It was with great dismay that eventually, after many great and violent battle skirmishes, Great Caractacus was captured by the Roman armies.

Thus it was it came to be that Great Caractacus was encaged, his garb worn to near nakedness, hair matted, and drawn through the very streets of Rome! He was to be humiliated before the senate and the crowds of Rome itself!

"What say you, defeated barbarian king?" said a Roman.
And so began Caractacus's famous speech. The Romans were spellbound, for his speech was not only in Latin, a tongue unknown to mere barbarians, his speech touched upon his awareness of the sophisticated, technical and bureaucratic duty and the responsibility of being a king that resonated with his invasive, encaging bureauctic imprisoners.

And so be thus it was that the Romans, impressed, not only spared his life but enabled him to not only not be bound in servitude as a Roman slave, but actually to be a freeman of Rome with more than some of the perks of being a Roman citizen in the Roman's Rome...

As long as he didn't return back to Britanae, especially not to form a revolt.

Caractacus showed the Romans that the Britons were not really just a gang of wolfmonkeys running around in clothes.
And he should be remembered as such and honoured for giving the Isle much face in the world arena.
