It's Boudica time again. As most have said further down, she did not bring the empire to it's knees like so many write. BUT, in her time this was something that shook the relative peace of Rome. It probably was disturbing to Nero. It was a big deal to those living it and those that heard about it first/second hand. The civil wars of the Republic and Empire, the Punic Wars, the Serville Wars. Now those were Earth shaking. Why does Queen Zernobia not get as much recognition as Boudica Well during her little fit of hysteria, she was still acting as a client ruler of a Roman client state. Yes she was taking other Roman client states but she was still returning money and grain to Rome. It wasn't until Aurelian had became the Roman Emporer that she declared her son emporer. Aurelian had a few other things on his mind. First he had to defeat a bunch of Germanic invaders then defeat Zernobia and then he could take out the so called Gallic Empire to restore the pre-crisis Roman Empire. Why is Boudica better known than Zernobia Because she's from Britian. Britian conquered a large part of the world, gaining an empire Romans could only dream of. It's their world, we only live in it.

There is no evidence that the Iceni, or any of the tribes of southern Britain were 'Celts'.
They are just as likely to be more Germanic, like the Belgae, & Parisi, for we are told of the relationship with those people across the sea, which means the semi German Belgae of Gaul, & north of these the fully German tribes, Batavians & others. Celts belonged further west, in Cornwall, Wales etc. These were related to other Celts in Armorica & Iberia. Indeed the ONLY people the Romans called Celts were the Celtiberi, in the Iberian peninsula. It is a mere assumption, based on a mistaken orthodoxy, that claims much of Europe, & all of Britain as a monoglot widespread Celtic cultural zone. Really much of this vast region was as much, if not more, Germanic, including the 'founding' cultures of La Tene & Hallstatt. This had come overland through the main river systems, to northern Europe & eastern Britain, while the 'celts' developed from groups who had migrated along the Mediterranean to Iberia & expanded along the Atlantic coast to western Britain.

I think it's funny how people today bark about in the 1600s, 130 generations ago, 'my people', who have absolutely nothing to do with me, were slaves, which means I, today, have had it bad. when 4: 10 to 4: 40 you realise that something like public rpe against the children of an enemy was a punishment that the Romans carried out on a daily basis.
And along with all that, the Romans are seen as the founders, builders and saviours, of modern society across the entirety of Britain and Europe.
Such a complex history that people cherry-pick for their own agendas.
I hate what we've become.

aius Suetonius Paulinus (fl. AD 4069) was a Roman general best known as the commander who defeated Boudica and her army during the Boudican revolt.
Additionally, Boudica was able to unite different Celtic tribes under her leadership, which was no small feat, and she is said to have shown great courage and determination in the face of overwhelming odds. These are all qualities that would be considered valuable in a leader

As great as Boudica is, I hate how British nationalists became obsessed with depicting her revolt as one of the most important events in the history of the entire empire, even though her greatest achievement was committing a few massacres before being beaten in combat. Queen Zenobia literally took Egypt from the romans for years, and yet she gets much less recognition than Boudica.

it wasn't hard to defeat anything in britain. as a giant mob they used terror to slaughter the romans they could capture, but that only lasted until the romans stopped their retreat turned and killed those chasing them. the scotts on the other hand, were also easily defeated but they had the highlands to run away and hide in.

230000 seems a too large a number for the time and the romans were well known to inflate their enemies numbers to make themselves seem more powerful and impressive and considering our only sources are Roman I would take many of Boudiccas acts and the numbers they were facing with a very large pinch of salt

seems steeped in roman bias, especially with the numbers of celts. if there was truly 230000 soldiers, they would not have been able to use all of them in the fight and they definitely would have sent troops through the trees cause why wouldn't you if you have 100000 soldiers sitting around.

Celtic warriors were fought furiously with narrow passant and undeciplined confronted standing rather than poor war equipment armed. above all, Roman deciplined armored warriors realized how they defeated Celtics on French, & Spanish territorial clashing named Gull wars previously

When it came to the real battle it was not hard at all. Two legions, 10. 000 disciplined and organized legionaries defeated 100. 000 of those wild warriors of Bodicea which were no match to the Roman war machine.

There was no way that Boudicea had 230, 000 warriors. All of Britain couldn't have mustered those numbers. 100, 000 was the absolute upper limit, and even that's a stretch.

Was it really so hard’ She just massacred a few cities and won only against a surprised army at the begging. When she faced a normal legion, she lost the first battle.

I think the Romans grew arrogant and let power get to their head thinking they were unbeatable that no one would be brave enough to do what Boudica did

You left out a lot of detail in this video on the tactics and movements. I am not sure why you dumb down the history or were pushing the Celtic view.

There's other celtic tribes fighting Rome in Britain. You covered this conflict at least 50 times. What about central Britain or western Britain

Because she was an extremely angry and extremely strong woman, that's why, and the Romans maybe thought she was gonna be submissive.
