Boudicca

Boudicca stands as an enduring symbol of rebellion, but what did ancient authors truly think of her? Marguerite Johnson’s study meticulously re-examines original sources, primarily Tacitus and Dio, to reveal classical perspectives on this enigmatic British leader. Following an overview of the Iceni rebellion against Rome, the book offers an in-depth analysis of these foundational accounts. It then traces Boudicca's evolving legacy, from scant post-Roman references to her most modern reinterpretations, providing a comprehensive historical and cultural overview.
