Who was Emperor Claudius?

Claudius was a Roman emperor from AD41 to AD54, known for expanding the empire. His invasion of Britain in AD43, reportedly at Verica's request, marked a major turning point, beginning nearly 400 years of Roman rule. This reshaped British society, culture, and politics profoundly.
