Calling all armchair generals! Boudica's Last Stand.

Crummy guesstimates a modest 15,000 for Camulodunum and rural area surrounding it...

That sounds about right. It's unlikely that as many as twenty thousand civilians died in the entire revolt, and likely far fewer than that.

(Incidentally, could people quoting previous posts in their replies perhaps edit down the quotes to relevant bits only, rather than repeating whole chunks of text? - it gets a bit unwieldy to read!)

My bad, I’m using the phone as on hols and it’s just easier for me to quote the whole thing. Up till 19th century Uk Officers were taught how to estimate troop numbers in the field as part of their field craft and were pretty good at it, another lost art of warfare, now we have so much intel it’s knowing what’s not important rather than working out what is important.
