How did the Roman Emperor Claudius handle unrest in Judea in the first century AD?
There was no unrest in Judea when Claudius became emperor. There had been some unrest under his predecessor Caligula because he wanted turn the temple in Jerusalem into a shrine with an enormous statue of himself in the guise of Jupiter. This caused some unrest, but Agrippa dissuaded his friend Caligula and the unrest ended. By the time of the accession of Claudius Judea was quiet. Agrippa was not really a king (even though her was the grandson of Herod the Great.) Claudius gave him the governorship of the province in the place of the procurator Marullus and with the appellation of "king". Agrippa was not a de facto king, so much so that on his death the governorship reverted back to a Roman procurator. Claudius appointed Agrippa because he was a very close friend of his.

What is an advantage that Claudius had in his invasion of Britain?
· Believe it or not, the Roman's delay was an advantage!

This means that when the Romans did invade after some time, the Britons were not as prepared as they were when they expected the Romans. Hope it helps!!
