Event Details
The Boudican revolt was an armed uprising by native Celtic Britons against the Roman Empire during the Roman conquest of Britain. It took place circa AD 60–61, led by Boudica, the Queen of the Iceni tribe, in repayment for the Romans' failure to honor agreements and mistreatment of her people. In the final battle, the Romans took a stand in a narrow passage with a wood behind them that opened out into a wide plain. The Romans were heavily outnumbered. By now, the rebel forces they faced were said to have numbered 230,000–300,000.
