The Romans first invaded Britain in 55 BC under Julius Caesar. He had to withdraw and tried again the next year, but withdrew again. Claudius officially invaded Britain and made it a province in 43 AD. Between these two dates there was an active Roman presence in Britain. The future emperor Vespasian secured a lot of territory and made allies. There were troops and trading colonies in Britain long before Claudius made his "invasion" although the entire island was not subdued. Britain officially became a Roman province in 43 AD.
