After the fall of Camulodunum, Plautius despatched columns through Trinovantian and northern Catuvellaunian Essex. The Trinovantes, resentful of Catuvellaunian domination, cooperated; small-scale resistance was met where Catuvellaunian garrisons lingered in satellite oppida along the Colne, Chelmer, and Blackwater valleys. The early compliance of the Trinovantes was rapidly undermined by the seizure of their sacred land for the colony at Camulodunum, planting the seeds of Boudicca revolt sixteen years later.
