Boudica's Revenge

S1 E5: It's 60 A.D. Seventeen years after the invasion of Britannia, Roman forces march into the settlement of the Iceni tribe, flog its queen, and abuse her daughters. The attack sparks a retaliatory revolt that comes perilously close to ending the Roman occupation of Britain. Host Bettany Hughes retraces the events that led to Boudica’s war of annihilation, an onslaught of fire and fury that burnt cities to the ground, left thousands of Romans and native Britons dead, and earned the queen a place in history.
