Am I being an Anglo Saxon pedant?
Chelmsford was originally Caesaromagus and was unusual in being named after a Caesar. It has been postulated that "Caesar's Field" or "The market place of Caesar" was where a final battle with Claudius who brought to terms the Brythons defeating them or where the Client Kings gave their allegiance to him....the latter seeming more plausible...but it could have been Colchester....or somewhere else.
