#ClassicsTober24 Day 8: Boudicca. Her role in resisting the Romans lives on in memory thanks to the extant writings of Tacitus and Dio Cassius.

Boudicca and the Iceni remind us of the importance of defending your home and loved ones from those who would invade and oppress you.

@[email protected] It’s funny that I had to learn a new name for Boudicca, all because the experts apparently can’t read medieval handwriting any better than anyone else.

@[email protected] there appears to be highly contested options for spelling and when you learn it was unlikely her name but possibly a honorific instead 🤯
