Deep dives

Boudica, the warrior queen of ancient Britain

Boudica, the angriest woman in ancient Britain, led a rebellion against the might of Rome nearly two thousand years ago. She burned down Colchester and London, and even wiped out the ninth legion. Boudica's act of revenge was fueled by the Romans' brutal treatment of her and her daughters. Despite ultimately losing the battle at Watling Street, her fierce resistance left a lasting impact on Roman history. Boudica's story is one of identity, power, and the struggle against imperialism.
