Claudius proved to be an able and efficient administrator. He was an ambitious builder, constructing many new roads, aqueducts, and canals across the Empire. During his reign the Empire began the conquest of Britain.
Claudius was murdered by poison and died on October 13, 54 - the plot was likely instigated by his third wife, Agrippina II, who wanted her son Nero from a previous marriage on the throne, rather than Claudius' son Britannicus.
