Boudicca's War

Boudicca’s War follows the rebellion that brought Roman Britain close to collapse in AD 60–61.

After years of growing Roman pressure, the Iceni queen Boudicca led an uprising that destroyed major settlements, shattered Roman confidence and forced the provincial government into a desperate fight for survival.

Using the surviving ancient accounts alongside modern historical understanding, this book traces how the revolt began, why it spread so quickly, and how Rome recovered from one of the most dangerous crises of its occupation of Britain.

Part of the Behind the Legend series, Boudicca’s War focuses specifically on the rebellion itself: its causes, campaigns, destruction and consequences.
