Description
|
|
|
|
In 61 AD, Roman rule in Britain was threatened by a bloody revolt led by one of the most iconic figures in ancient British history. Various histories indicate that Boudica destroyed three Roman towns—modern-day Colchester, St. Albans, and London—and slaughtered thousands in response to Roman cruelty and betrayal towards her and her family, although scholarly discussion of the revolt has advanced little in recent decades. Here John Waite seeks to offer fresh proposals about why the revolt started, how it spread, and in particular where Boudica fought her last epic battle against an outnumbered yet better-trained and equipped Roman army.
