If the Romans acted decently and didn't pillage the people and raped and beat Boudicca and her daughters who were not their enemies since they had accepted to live in the new roman world all this would have never happened. I think it's meaningful that it was a roman writer to tell this story so we can be reasonably sure the circumstances of their rebellion are true and the Romans who generally were quite intelligent in the way they behaved towards conquered populations were awful. Boudicca and her people reaction was understandable and people should never forget what conquest almost always entails when they celebrate historical figures like Caesar and Alexander. I will always prefer the people who defend themselves to those who attack others.

OK. Look. I love this stuff you're doing, but it seems to me that about 98% would be better suited to a podcast format? Video can be great, but when you're just gratuitously recycling stock, often tenuously linked clips (horses in paddocks? waves on the shore) it gets a bit tedious. Your information is great, but why so many busts of the same emperors? The maps can be useful, but they vary in clarity and quality. This of course is magnified by watching the same library of clips pop-up in your other videos. Sorry to sound so negative, because I get a lot out of your Roman history programs (and I'm not even in the UK. Just a suggestion you're welcome to ignore; -) Cheers.

I've been thinking about those wood statues with people tied inside of them. They were like 60' tall made up of sticks and sacrificial captives. Would be lit on fire. I have memories of this. Sounds crazy but I have memories in W2 and as a captured as a fisherman by Muslim pirates. Have memories of desert north Africa and intense pain and suffering. When I saw artwork of this time it was earilly familiar. Life's a trip. Can't make sense. Ie how do we know when someone is looking at his when we can't see them. We all can do this. How?

It's crazy. All this blood, violence and hardship. For what?
I've been to London, Bradford and Leeds and I could count the Brits I saw on my two hands. They are gone. It's sad. They said there are some outside the cities like in Yorkshire but I was working and didn't have time for sightseeing. I did some sightseeing in London and the architecture is still there but it was like looking at an ancient dead culture like the pyramids in Egypt. And the stench of curry all over the city.

Boudicca, the woman that murdered and tortured 80, 000 innocent civilians, cut the breast of roman women and sew them to their mouths, boiled roman children and old people alive, convinced hundreds of thousands of people to follow her and when she finally met a real army and when things started to go bad she was the first to run. Oh and she has a statue, why? I will never know.

War is hell, brutal and to the victors goes the spoils, women and lands, only today we try to civilize it, legalize it, justify it, in ancient history, their are seldom survivors to record it, only archeological evidence, thus no one to condemn it, and in the end we will all regret the destruction of earths biosphere an ability to support life, there will be no winners

Thank you for the good documentary. That one detail about Prasutagus will helped the way his daughters were treated make sense. Not that Im rationalising the Romans behaviour, but it had a political purpose and wasnt just rampaging legionnaires drunk on victory.

sounds like typical history: People minding their own business and rebel after being brutally oppressed. The white man does not like resistance to their oppression so they slaughter the rebels, before going back to oppress minorities even more fiercely.

Boudicca was a great leader but a terrible strategist and tactician. And she had no good skilled generals under her either. She could have won if she understood her enemies weaknesses and strengths. She let the Romans choose the battlefield.

It's a shame we don't have any record as told from Boudicca's side. We have similar issues abounding in our society today with the oligarchs trying to take over the world right now. We need Boudicca reincarnated to get things going again.

I think Boudicca should have cut down all the trees and built a fence around the Romans, starving them to death, isolation, isolation, it's not what the enemy know but what they think that is important, let them think isolation, ha, ha, ha.

When I visited Britain at age 17. My tour guide once told me about how when Bouddica once killed her first man, she roared in a furious rage and burst a hole in the man's skull bare knuckle. She kept that skull on her side as a trophy.

Her side of the story is grounded in the menses and potential for shedding of blood to deliver a new generation to Earth both her mom and herself. If she had the power of reason plus the gender advantage she is worthy of study. TY

Ever notice how hard it is to get a clip of Roman era horse riders not using stirrups? Pisses me off, because they weren't yet invented, and that's just lazy research.

Love the videos! I am hoping to do a video on the Claudian invasion and Boudica at some point. It's a shame we don't have Tacitus's account of the invasion!
