Author: Is Boadicea to be admired?
Boadicea was the Queen of the Iceni tribe that led a revolt that failed after she was beaten In public and her daughter’s raped. After her husband death she became the leader of the Iceni and half his land went to the Emperor half to his daughters. This prompted the Attack on them. Sure the Romans were brutal conquerers to their enemies but Boadicea burned Camledounem first,(setting fire to it’s temple with civilians in it and looting), then what is now London and some other places but If she wasn’t just some angry celt leader looking for revenge on her victims and some heroic freedom fighter why didn’t she Just destroy the Roman legions enforcing Rome’s rule over them.
After she lost Tacitus says she commited suicide. She had brought that destruction on her people yet she refused to face the Music. Rome gave 350 years of peace to britain. And I personally think the Romans would have come back again not being the kind of empire to take defeat lightly if they had lost to her.?
You could interpret her suicide as a brave action – a final act of defiance. And whilst her treatment of Roman civilians was abhorrant, it is still possible to sympathise with and even admire her refusal to submit to the occupiers after their treatment of her. At the end of the day, however, brutality was an unavoidable and accepted part of life at the time, and it is difficult to find any figures truly worthy of admiration once we dig deeper into their lives.
