Boudica Britannia

"Equally at home with the classical Graeco-Roman world and that of the prehistoric European Iron Age, Professor Aldhouse-Green is well equipped to do justice to the fearsome warrior queen of the Britons who so nearly brought the story of Roman Britain to a premature end. This important study of Boudica not only makes full use of recent archaeological and classical scholarship, it also offers exciting new psychological insights into the first woman to make a significant impact on the history of Britain ". - Dr Paul R. Sealey, Assistant Curator of Archaeology, Colchester Museums. NB - Miranda Aldhouse-Green should be affiliated to the University of Cardiff.
