Roman conquest of Britain Claudius returned to Rome to celebrate his victory. Caratacus escaped and would continue the resistance further west. Vespasian took a force westwards subduing tribes and capturing "oppida" as he went, going at least as far as Exeter, which would appear to have become an early base for Leg. II Augusta. Legio IX Hispana was sent north towards Lincoln () and within four years of the invasion it is likely that an area south of a line from the Humber to the Severn Estuary was under Roman control. That this line is followed by the Roman road of the Fosse Way
Anthony (given name) Anthony (given name) Anthony or Antony is a masculine given name, derived from the "Antonii", a "gens" (Roman family name) to which Mark Antony ("Marcus Antonius") belonged. There was an ancient tradition that the Antonii gens were Heracleidae, being descendants of Anton, a son of Heracles. (Plut. Ant. 4) "Anthony" is equivalent to "Antonio" in Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Greek; "António" or "Antônio" in Portuguese; "Anton" in Dutch, Galician, German, Icelandic, Romanian, Russian, and Scandinavian languages; "Antoine" in French; "Antal" in Hungarian; and "Antun" or "Ante" in Croatian. The usual abbreviated form is Tony (sometimes "Tone" or "Ant" or "Anth").
