Show transcript
Despite the Ancient Romans' initial success in the south, other British Celts resisted the further Roman campaigns. While some kings, like Caratacus, were crushed, others chose to become client rulers to avoid bloodshed. Boudica was the queen of the Iceni tribe in East Anglia; she rebelled and destroyed Colchester and London. Boudica united with other tribes in southern England and outnumbered the Ancient Roman Legions that marched to meet her. Despite her numerical advantage, Boudica's army was defeated by superior Ancient Roman tactics and her rebellion ended.
