Caesar's second invasion in 54 BC with five legions met more organised British resistance. Cassivellaunus, king of the Catuvellauni north of the Thames, coordinated the British response but after losing his chariotry in engagements in Kent fell back on guerrilla warfare. Caesar crossed the Thames (location debated — possibly Brentford or near Shepperton) and took Cassivellaunus's fortified base. Cassivellaunus submitted and paid tribute. Caesar withdrew to Gaul again without establishing any permanent Roman presence.
