Liv's off to the UK and realized she's never covered Boudicca! Presenting episode 1 of Ancient History Fangirl's 2021 series on Britain's warrior queen. The story of Boudiccaâs revolt is as epic as you can get. Itâs got murder and pillage, Romans behaving badly, cities on fire, and a layer of destruction that was scorched into the earth. But it's also the story of a people on a precipice of great change.
Who was Boudicca? Who was this iron-age warrior queen who stood up to the Romansâand whose name was so revered and feared that stories of her are still being spun almost 2,000 years later? In this episode, weâre going to find out. Here's a Spotify playlist featuring all of AHFG's episodes on Boudicca and Roman Britain.
