The emperor Claudius was advised to "invade" Britain mainly as a publicity stunt in order to hype up his military abilities. Every Roman emperor, or public official, for that matter, was expected to have some military background. Claudius had none. The invasion and subjugation of (an almost subdued) Britain was just the thing to impress the folks back home.
