Iirc, as of AD100 there hadn't been one in Britannia. Galba had started
from
Spain, Vitellius from the Rhine, and Vespasian from Syria. But I agree
that
Quietus would probably declare himself Caesar. How long he would keep the
title depends on how much personal loyalty he enjoyed among his officers
and
men.
