A sneak peak at my latest Patreon Exclusive episode!

At its height, the Roman Empire stretched across the regions of what today make up most of western Europe, portions of eastern Europe and west Asia, down into the Middle East and across northern Africa. And at the farthest western reach of that great Empire was the island of Britannia.

But in the 60/61 CE the unquestionable might of the Rome was nearly upended by a band of rebellious tribes at the edge of the empire. This violent uprising would leave three Roman cities in ruins and thousands dead. The rebellion was eventually quashed, it’s leaders annihilated, and considering the war had only lasted one year, it should have just been footnote in history. Instead it captured the attention and imagination of chroniclers, rulers and historians across the world and down the generations.

In part because this fierce and bloody rebellion was led by a woman: Boudica, Queen of the Iceni. Her name and her life have become the stuff of legends.
