More films with Romans to come

[Robert Vermaat]

Now as bloodthirsty as Boudicca was said to be during the rebellion, could you blame her or the Britons after the way many of them had been treated.

Arthes,
I'd say the violence on either side was rather unusual. Neither the Romans who violated the family were particularly nasty, nor wwere the Iceni, I think. The rapes, woould that be because the Roman soldiers were very bad men, or were the cavalrymen posibly Celtic auxiliaries, intent to settle an old score, or was that to do some ritual 'desecration' of the royal family or something?

I think all the stuff of Boudicca as a 'avenging mother' of her family/people, is all very Victorian, but I doubt it was personal at all. Standards of 'norma' vuiolence were totally different then, if you can believe what you read.
