[QUOTE="jamesicus, post: 4690604, member: 14873"]Claudius only stayed in Britain for sixteen days before returning to Rome to accept the accolades of the Senate which included the traditional Imperator Triumph. Before departing Britain (never to return) Claudius appointed Aulus Plautius (a renowned Senator and friend of the Claudians) to be Governor of Britain, and it was he who actually instituted and controlled the monetary policies and procedures there. It was also Aulus Plautius who was the commanding general of the four legion invasion force that landed in Britain in the summer of 43 AD. Claudius only arrived there later in order to accept the surrender of the British coalition of fighting forces. The other leading general during the campaign was Titus Flavius Vespasianus (the future Emperor Vespasian). I am personally a great admirer of Claudius and hold him in great esteem, however, he really only made a token contribution to the conquest of Britain.[/QUOTE]
