Calling all armchair generals! Boudica's Last Stand.

I'm not sure there's much else that can be said about druids actually! They're only interesting here in relation to the Mona invasion, I think.

The Romans had been fighting almost continuously on the western (Wales) frontier since AD47 - coincidentally the same year that the Iceni last rebelled, and (probably) when Prasutagus was installed as puppet king. It was the death of Prasutagus, and the real possibility of a full Roman takeover, that prompted the rebellion. Paulinus being far away at the time was just par for the Roman course.
