Reply to comment by egg_static5 in Egypt archaeology: Dig unearths smiling mini-sphinx which may represent Claudius by egg_static5
Am I misreading this? The Romans had been in North Africa since the Punic Wars. Literally the most famous era of Roman history ends with dominion over Egypt years before Claudius.

It's worded incorectly, he extended Roman rule IN North Africa, not INTO North Africa. (He annexed Mauretania)
