About Colchester
- Colchester holds the distinction of being the oldest recorded town in Britain, having been established as the Roman capital of Britannia under the name Camulodunum around AD 49. The town was the site of the first Roman temple in Britain, dedicated to the Emperor Claudius, whose podium survives beneath Colchester Castle — the largest Norman keep in Europe. The town was sacked by Boudicca and her Iceni warriors in AD 60 in one of the most dramatic episodes of Roman Britain. The castle's Norman keep, built on the foundations of the Roman temple, now houses one of the finest collections of Roman antiquities in the country.
