Auxilia Cohorts and the Claudian Invasion of Britain

Quote:Was he decorated for participation in ivasion of Britain or for his service on Rhine?
Jeez, that's a wreck of an inscription!
e[------------------]g XX et prae[-]
fabr divi Cla[---------------]m[---]
Claudio [---------------------------]
pura [-------------------------------]

But, if the expansion d(onis) d(onato) in triumpho a divo Claudio is correct, then it's the British triumph. (Legion XX wasn't involved in Corbulo's Rhine campaign. They presumably had their hands full in Britain by then.)
