Heroine’s Bloodthirsty Revenge
Not being a passive figure, Queen Boudica swiftly assembled a formidable army that launched brutal assaults on the Roman capital city, Camulodunum, and Londinium, now known as the modern-day City of London. These attacks resulted in a wave of horrifying violence, including bloodthirsty killings, widespread burning, looting, crucifixions, impalings on skewers, and an estimated death toll of 80,000 people.
Rome faced a daunting challenge in quelling the resilient queen but succeeded through Roman discipline and strategic tactics. Boudica’s rebellion was finally broken, and she left a lasting mark in history as the heroine of one of the most ruthless tales of revenge ever recorded.
