Page "Claudius" Paragraph 15

Under Claudius, the Empire underwent its first major expansion since the reign of Augustus.

The provinces of Thrace, Noricum, Pamphylia, Lycia, and Judea were annexed under various circumstances during his term.

The annexation of Mauretania, begun under Caligula, was completed after the defeat of rebel forces, and the official division of the former client kingdom into two Imperial provinces.

The most far-reaching conquest was the conquest of Britannia.
