He was the first Emperor who resorted to bribery which means to secure army loyalty.He remained grateful and issuing coins with tributes.
     In 43, Claudius sent Aulus Plautius with four legions to Britian. Britons were used in the capture of Cmaulodnum. The Senate granted him a trimph fo rhis efforts . Britian was an attarctive target for Rome. It was attractive because of it's wealth.
