The Regnenses or Regni is a British Celtic kingdom formed only after the Roman invasion of Britain, located in modern West Sussex. Their capital was Noviomagus Regnorun, known today as Chichester.


The Regnenses were a confederation of tribes, previously under the rule of the Atrebates, joint by Roman influence client kingdom of Rome. The king was Cogidubnus, possibly an Atrebatean noble, made a Roman citizen by emperor Claudius with the name Tiberius Claudius Cogidubnus and given the dignity of legatus augusti (legate of the emperor). After his death, in around 80 AD, the Regnenses' lands were divided into three civitas.
