Annotations

The Temple of Claudius (Templum Claudii) or Temple of the Deified Claudius (Templum Divi Claudii) was built in Camulodunum (Roman Colchester) sometime after the Roman conquest of Britain in 43 CE, although it is not certain whether it was built before or after Claudius' death and deification in 54 CE¹.
