Although then defeated by the governor, Suetonius Paulinus, her rebellion sent a shock wave across the empire. Who was this woman who defied Rome? \u003ci\u003eBoudica: Iron Age Warrior Queen\u003c\/i\u003e is an account of what we know about the real woman, from classical literature, written for the consumption of readers in Rome, and from the archaeological evidence. It also traces her extraordinary posthumous career as the earliest famous woman in British history. Since the Renaissance she has been seen as harridan, patriot, freedom fighter and feminist, written about in plays and novels, painted and sculpted, and recruited to many causes. She remains a tragic, yet inspirational, figure of unending interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard Hingley is Senior Lecturer in Roman Archaeology at the University of Durham and the author of Roman Officers and English Gentlemen. \u003cbr\u003e Christina Unwin is a graphic designer, illustrator and archaeologist. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.94 x 9.24 x 6.18 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 21, 2006\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42107899510919,"sku":"9781852855161","price":46.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/dec114f3e2b51fd6198b2bd9e2febd04.webp?v=1732460727","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/boudica-iron-age-warrior-queen-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
