The Romans first came to England in AD 43 during the reign of Emperor Claudius. This marked the beginning of the Roman conquest of Britain, which aimed to establish control over the territory and integrate it into the Roman Empire. Prior to this, Julius Caesar had made two expeditions to Britain in 55 and 54 BC, but these were not intended for permanent occupation. The conquest in AD 43 led to nearly four centuries of Roman influence in the region.
