| The rapes of Boudica and her daughters by the Roman invaders are harrowingly shown. |
|
| Only at the colony of Camulodunum, the first town sacked by Boudica, does the entire settlement appear to have been burnt to the ground. |
|
| It was destroyed in the rebellion of Boudica in 60 or 61, but was soon rebuilt. |
|
| The Gaulish version is attested in inscriptions as Boudiga in Bordeaux, Boudica in Lusitania, and Bodicca in Algeria. |
|
| Boudica led her army forward across the plain and into the narrowing field in a massive frontal attack. |
|
| Final occupation of Wales was postponed however when the rebellion of Boudica forced the Romans to return to the south east. |
|
| Also, the narrowness of the field meant that Boudica could put forth only as many troops as the Romans could at a given time. |
|
| Following the Boudica Uprising, they almost succeeded in expelling the Roman Army from the island. |
|
| Later, an uprising led by Boudica, Queen of the Iceni, ended with Boudica's suicide following her defeat at the Battle of Watling Street. |
|
| When he died in 60 AD, the Romans seized control, prompting a second Iceni rebellion under Prasutagus' wife Boudica. |
|
| The founding of a Roman temple to Claudius at Camulodunum was one of the impositions that led to the revolt of Boudica. |
|
| The Iceni revolted against the Roman invasion in AD 47, and again in 60 led by Boudica. |
|
| Boudica was the widow of the recently deceased king of the Iceni, Prasutagus. |
|
| This lasted only until around 61, when the Iceni tribe led by Queen Boudica stormed it, burning it to the ground. |
|
| Boudica then either killed herself to avoid capture, or died of illness. |
|
| Tacitus and Cassius Dio agree that Boudica was of royal descent. |
|
| He did not explain why the Romans pillaged the kingdom, why they took the lands of the chiefs or why Boudica was flogged and her daughters were raped. |
|
| Prasutagus's widow, Boudica, was flogged, and her daughters were raped. |
|
| This would have prevented Boudica from bringing considerable forces to bear on the Roman position, and the open plain in front made ambushes impossible. |
|
| Boudica has remained an important cultural symbol in the United Kingdom. |
|
|
|
| The crisis caused Nero to consider withdrawing all Roman forces from Britain, but Suetonius' eventual victory over Boudica confirmed Roman control of the province. |
|
| According to Tacitus, Boudica was flogged and her daughters raped. |
|
| Boudica exhorted her troops from her chariot, her daughters beside her. |
