Back to A Long and Illustrious History
The Roman invasions: Caesar, Claudius and Boudicca
Study note
Julius Caesar first led a Roman invasion of Britain in 55 BC, but it was not a success. Almost a century later, in AD 43, the Emperor Claudius led a successful invasion and the Romans took control of much of Britain. Boudicca, queen of the Iceni tribe, led a famous revolt against Roman rule.
Memory tip: Caesar failed in 55 BC; Claudius succeeded in AD 43; Boudicca led the revolt.
