An ancestor of mine was named Boudicca. She was born in Massachusetts, in the 1600s.
I can only guess, that unlike many of their neighbors, her parents had read more than the Bible.

Excellent documentary. 💯💯👏👏I enjoy watching it.

[@dsmithson531]

The best way to discover the actual site for the last battle would be archaeology. There has to be a lot of items left behind, bodies, etc.

[@forrussia7434]

Exactly, one can only wonder why all proposed sites haven't been visited by Time Team yet, as an archeological assessment would soon determine which site the battle occurred.

[@TravisBrady-wn8fr]

They need funding digs are fairly expensive and the top archeologists work day jobs as well

[@thomasschofield6633]

Convincing argument for Church Stowe being the battle site, along with the great drone shots of the narrow valley. i could just picture the celts going up that narrow defile and the Romans waiting for them at the top.

Team Boudicca

Boudicca the greatest not so familiar British queen 👑

[@blaircalvin5025]

Church Stowe does seem to be a better candidate than Mancetter.
But where is the archaeological evidence?

[@marcuslatham2456]

Oops…Julius Caesar wasn’t an emperor, then they show a statue of Augustus. Minor points maybe, but how accurate is the rest of the show?

[@odin7094]

2:35 Julius Caesar, previously emperor.

Interesting but too much hype. Also the current calendar was not Roman. The Julian (Roman) calendar was replaced in England in the mid 1750s by the Gregorian calendar which is the contemporary one.

[@cuhurun]

They only differ in as much the Gregorian calendar accounts for leap years and therefore takes into account calendar drift, whereas the Julian calendar doesn't (erroneously stating that there are exactly 365.25 days in a year).
The names of the months we still use today are indeed Roman.

[@JohnJames-be4qe]

Thanks and true but don’t forget the beginning of the year before the change over was Lady Day or 25th of March and not 1 Jan. The later only became New Year’s Day once the Gregorian calendar was adopted.@@cuhurun
