"[i]Background:
The Roman writers Tacitus and Cassius Dio both tell us the story of the Boudiccan Revolt of AD61; where the Iceni tribe (covering modern day Norfolk and Suffolk) rebelled against the Romans after the savage treatment of their queen. Archaeological evidence clearly shows that Colchester, London and St Albans suffered devastating fires and destruction during the first century, and one of the most amazing finds of all Roman Britain is connected with these events. In 1907 a boy was swimming in the River Alde in Suffolk when he discovered the ripped off bronze statue head of the deified emperor Claudius, once a dominating symbol of Rome adorning the temple precinct at Colchester.
Name: Miccus Asto Age: 32
About Me: I'm Miccus Asto, a farmer of the Iceni tribe but educated. After years of struggle against high taxes and imposed Roman laws fed down through the diplomatic wrangling of our king, Prasutagus, life is certainly a lot harder than it used to be.
I can feel dark times ahead. The festival of Samhain has passed and along with our usual memories of the dead we have mourned the death of King Prasutagus. He was a good king, with good intentions but I doubt that his good intentions are matched by those of our Roman “friendsâ€
