About this listen
A Celtic ruler nearly broke the Roman Empire in Britain. In 60–61 C.E., Boudicca of the Iceni went from Roman citizen to avenger after Roman officials seized her lands and assaulted her daughters—triggering a massive uprising that burned Camulodunum, Londinium, and Verulamium to the ground.
In this Time & Tales episode, we dive into Boudicca’s life, the politics of Roman Britain, the assault that lit the fuse, Rome’s brutal response, and the archaeological burn layer that still carries the scars of her revolt beneath modern London and Colchester.
