In this journal (1972, 1973) and in a collection of studies (1987), Duncan Fishwick, calling on almost overwhelming Wissenschaft, has shown himself to be very firmly set against a temple in Britain at which the living emperor Claudius was revered. Essentially, he believes that Seneca's statement at Apocolocyntosis VIII. 3 concerning a temple to Claudius (‘parum est quod templum in Britannia habet…’) refers to a situation that obtained after Claudius' death and consecration rather than to a time before those events. In 1988, S.R.F. Price disputed Fishwick's claim, stating his opinion that in ‘the barbarian provinces of the west cults of the living emperor had been established under Augustus; Britain was just another barbarian area which was expected to show extreme deference to Rome.’ Fishwick countered in 1991, again in this journal.
