The currently accepted preferred name is Togidubnus. Chichester and the nearby Roman villa at Fishbourne, believed by some to have been Togidubnus' palace, were probably part of the territory of the Atrebates tribe before the Roman conquest of Britain in AD 43.

Togidubnus is known from a reference to his loyalty in Tacitus's ""Agricola"", and from an inscription commemorating a temple dedicated to Neptune and Minerva found in nearby Chichester.
