Product Description
Book Description
Queen Boadicea, riding down her enemies in her scythed chariot, is an heroic yet tragic character. The historical figure of Boudica, queen of the East Anglian client kingdom of the Iceni, who rebelled against Rome, is only now taking plausible shape.The peace following the Roman conquest was always an uneasy one and in AD 60 the Iceni, outraged by the Romans treatment of their royal family and encouraged by the Druids in Anglesey, erupted in revolt. They sacked several towns and a massive pitched battle followed in which the Roman military machine avenged this humiliating setback.
Synopsis
Queen Boudica, leader of the Iceni, revolted against the Romans in AD60 only to have her efforts avenged by a humiliated Roman army. This book examines in detail the evidence and theories which surround these events.
