In 60 AD Roman Britain was very nearly brought to the brink. Cities burned, authority crumbled, and for a brief moment one woman challenged the might of the Roman Empire. Her name was Boudica.Today, Tristan Hughes is joined by novelist and historian Elodie Harper to explore the life and legend of Boudica, the Iceni queen responsible for such rebellious devastation. They discuss the brutal events that sparked her uprising, the role played by her daughters and their wider Iceni world, and how Roman power was shaken by her campaign, revealing a story of resistance, vengeance, and the limits of empire.MOREBoudica's Battle of Britain<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ancients/id1520403988?i=1000615562885" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/1jiiHgM7dPMV2hgpCL0YBf?si=jbP_t8QZTaSDYb6BYAV_yg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify</a>Colchester: From Bronze Age to Boudica<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ancients/id1520403988?i=1000532441015" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/2UBnp03zHGlGl5V72t4Kd5?si=U6ajwSsbQIOLBeHb6MlOfQ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify</a>We're going on *TOUR* to Australia and New Zealand! - grab your tickets <a href="https://fane.com.au/whats-on/an-evening-with-tristan-hughes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.Presented by Tristan Hughes.
