The Battle of the Medway took place in 43 AD, probably on the River Medway in the lands of the Iron Age tribe of the Cantiaci, now the English county of Kent. Other locations for the battle have been suggested but are less likely.[citation needed] This was an early battle in the Claudian invasion of Britain, led by Aulus Plautius.
