The Romans invaded many countries. As far as the British Isles were concerned the new Emperor Claudius ordered an invasion in 43 AD. 40,000 Roman troops landed in Kent and occupied the southern part of what we now call England.

The date for the Roman invasion of Britain is hazy. Julius Caesar's first invasion was in 55 BC, but he had to withdraw. Claudius "conquered" Britain in 43 AD. However between these two dates there certainly was contact between the Brits and Romans and there was a strong military presence there before Claudius arrived. Vespasian and his Second Agusta were instrumental in securing the country for Rome.

Please be more specific. The Romans made lots of invasions, at lots of places, at lots of different dates.
