The Roman Conquest of Britain: Boudicca’s Reign of Blood (TRIH ep 501, part 3)
60 · Resource
Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook discuss Boudicca and the revolt of the Iceni against Roman rule in AD 60–61. They open with a dramatic Cassius Dio passage and place Boudicca in the wider context of Roman Britain after the Claudian invasion of AD 43: the colonia at Camulodunum, pro‑Roman client kings, and Suetonius Paulinus’s brutal campaigns in Wales and on Anglesey.
