Queen Boudicca and Roman Ruins

Archaeologist think they have found one of Britain's earliest Iron Age towns with a planned layout. Making the discovery more interesting is that they believe Queen Boudicca may led an attack against the Roman soldiers occupying the town.

Queen Boudicca is an interesting character and one who took no mercy. During her uprising, she had amassed an army of over 100,000 and torched and put to the sword any Roman that got in her way. Unfortunately for her, she ran into a Roman general named Paulinus. At the Battle of Watling Street, Paulinus, with superior Roman tactics and better trained army completey destroyed Boudicca's army.
