An energetic opponent of Julius Caesar's second invasion in 54 BCE, Cassivellaunus was Chieftain of the Catuvellauni, centered in southeastern England.
The man fought several battles to a standstill until Caesar grouped his forces for a siege. Cassivellaunus called upon the chieftains of the neighboring tribes of Kent, who unified to come to his aid—a rare case of coordinated action among the Britons.
Caesar prevailed nonetheless, and a defeated Cassivellaunus gave tribute. Caesar, however, returned to Rome due to the poor harvest there and, despite this victory, never returned to England.
