Summary

As the Roman Empire swept through Europe, it conquered almost all the lands it came across. It became the most hated empire the world had ever known. Despite their great success at subjecting the known world, they did not achieve these victories without a fight. Throughout their conquests, they met with fierce resistance. These various resistance movements culminated in numerous wars. Some wars lasted for several bloody years and some, not so long. It took a special person to dare defy Roman rule.

One of these special people was Boudicca, (often spelled Boudica or Boudicea) born around AD 25 to a royal family of the Briton tribe of Iceni, in Celtic Britain. Not very much is known about her life. The little information we have comes from two prominent historians, Cassius Dio (AD 150-235) and Publius Cornealius Tacitus (AD 56-117).

What we can glean from these two men about Boudicca is fascinating. When Rome humiliated her and her people, she faced the Romans head-on, rallying her people against them. In many ways, she is one of the great heroines of history.
