Description

Boudica: Iron Age Warrior Queen is an account of what we know about the real woman who defied Rome. Based on classical literature and archaeological evidence, this book explores her life and extraordinary posthumous career as the earliest famous woman in British history. Her rebellion against Roman rule in AD 60 sent a shock wave across the empire, sacking London, Colchester, and St Albans. Yet, despite being defeated by the governor Suetonius Paulinus, Boudica's legacy has endured for centuries, with her image appearing in art and literature, and her story inspiring many causes. This book offers a fresh perspective on a woman who remains both tragic and inspirational, a figure of unending interest to readers today.
