CLAUDIUS
10 BC - 54 AD


 

Claudius was Roman emperor from 41-54, and as such called in full Tiberius Claudius Nero Germanicus.

Claudius was born in Lyon, today's France.


In the year 43, and under Claudius' rule, the Romans commenced the conquest of Britain. The population of this island was then Celtic. In about forty years all the tribes south of the Clyde were subdued, and their land made a Roman province.
