Calling all armchair generals! Boudica's Last Stand.

[Renatus]

This reflects my own reservations.  On a point of detail, the figure of 120,000 comes from Dio and represents Boudica's army at the start of the revolt.  According to him, this had expanded to 230,000 by the time of the final battle.

The number 120,000 is also an Assyrian, biblical, Greek, and Roman topos for 'a vast army' ( some terrifying numbers )

Is there a precedent for 230,000 being used to denote an exceptionally large army or is that simply Dio's way of indicating that the number at the final battle was nearly twice that at the beginning of the revolt, whatever that may actually have been?
