Excellent video. As a bit of context, prior to this engagement Boudicca had sacked Colchester and taken London with very little resistance. Paulinus and the Romans decided that London was indefensible with the forces available. So with these victories in mind and the Romans marching away, it is possible that Boudicca thought that this battle would be an easy one as well. Unfortunately for her, the Romans were not retreating but were actually looking for a strategic place to fight. If she had committed only part of her large force and left the civilians at home she might have been able to retreat in good order and live to fight another day.
Boudicca was emotionally traumatised. Never make a decision especially an important one, when you’re upset. The Roman “buzz saw” will punish you for it.
She ultimately lost due to hubris, choosing to fight the Romans on their terms. If she stuck to guerrilla tactics she might have very well won the war.
Some of the early battles of the Civil War. Towns folk came out to have a picnic and watch the battle. Until the bullets, grape shot and cannon balls ruined the day for them. Humans can be some of the stupidest creatures on the planet
Boudicca had quite the last stand and Paulinus won a bloody victory. Interestingly Paulinus would later be involved in the intrigues of the Year of the Four Emperors being a commander for Otho's forces. He advised him against going into battle, when Otho was defeated he was pardoned by the victors claiming he purposely lost the battle. Nothing more is known of Paulinus after this.
Boudica got her ENTIRE army obliterated, during her ONE and ONLY real battlefield command... Then her ENTIRE tribe was effectively DESTOYED and those left, absorbed into the remaining, surviving tribes. The Iceni ceased to exist, for intensive purposes.. Boudica was one of the biggest FAILURES of all time.

@@Scoelho83 Leonidas was one of 2 kings of Sparta during that time. The Hot Springs of Thermopylae is a real place, and The battle took place there due to its great advantage from a defensive military standpoint. There was no other way for Xerses's land army to invade Greece except, by the narrow pass at Thermopylae. King Xerses did invade with an army of some 100,000. Leonidas heard of the invasion during the 8 day Religious Festival of Carnea during which no conflict was allowed. Leonidas a 62 yr old King, choose 300 veterens, and set out to Delay the Persians at the Hot Gates of Thermopylae, until the festival was over, and the rest of the Spartans could fight. Joining The 300 Spartans were about 6200 men made up from the surrounding provinces. The Story is True, The Geography is factual, The war happened, Xerses was King of Persia and is mentioned in the Bible, Leonidas is noted in the history books and revered as a Greek hero. Agreed, the Movie does change a few facts from the true account, i.e. King Leonidas played by Gerald Butler is a much younger man, and he is the Only King of Sparta, and I dont think the other 6500 other soldiers are mentioned in the film. But hey thats Hollywood.
Dang, I was thinking, you can actually show 10k Roman troops too. RTW2 allows armies that size when you count allies and modded unit numbers especially. Every man ended 8 Britons on average. Just nuts.

Why didn't Boudicca terrorize the Romans by sending warriors into the forests to their flanks and rear while keeping their attention fixed firmly on her huge army directly in front of them?
@@absolutecrapfilmstudios6783 they might well of done but the size of Boudicca's forces meant she would still vastly outnumber them and fighting in a forest and therefore not in formation would of been a serious problem for the Romans. Boudicca just didn't have a clue in reality.
It is easy for me to say now, I would never have been anywhere near the leaders of the Britons, but had they asked me I would have suggested sending 25% of the Britons down either side to flank the Romans and get behind them, while the main body of Britons cooled their heels on the higher ground. I did see a dramatization of this battle in a movie, And it was as though the gods did not favor Boudica to win the conflict, as her ability to use the sword of her dead husband had lost some of its "power" to be used effectively to kill enemies. Perhaps she was just overconfident because her previous victories against similar Romans had been so successful.
Yet, when the Italians first came to America in the early 20th century, the blue-blood English in America looked down at them with no memory of history or the advanced civilization of Rome.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Celtic tribes in Britain weren’t Christian at this time so the whole thing of Boudicca mentioning heaven I imagine was written by someone several hundred years after
I don't believe the Romans only lost 400, I do believe they won a massive victory and lost alot less than the tribes but exaggerated the numbers as victors often did.
the Roman empire is overrated. The only reason it had success was because of the good luck of being surrounded by naked defenseless tribes. Any time they faced their peers in combat they folded harder than those wwe chairs.
Weren't there ANY men amongst the Britons who might have, at some point, fought in a legion and recognized the stupidity of a frontal attack in that situation? Simps.
FYI AD61 (not 61AD) is the year 61, not 60, as the AI voice incorrectly states. The clue is in the number! Is the creator confused that the first year of the first century AD is AD1? So, 61-1=60. Is that your 'logic'? It is wrong, anyway. Also 'legion' is pronounced 'leeh-jun', not 'leh-jun'. Another AI mistake? No need to thank me.😜
Red hair: Comes to the British Isles by way of the Anglo-Saxon migrations and Viking invasions of later centuries. Boudica for some reason: Still has red hair instead of something like dark brown. ???
No. Tacitus writing in about 90 AD says the northern Britons had red hair. He also describes 3 distinct ethnic groups among the Britons. Only one tribe, the Silures, having brown or black hair. The Belgae, a Gallo German or Germano Celtic ethnicity of what is now south east England are described as having blond hair. Cassius Dio circa 200AD describes Boudica as having red hair. Germanic DNA, including northern Germanic from Scandinavia, currently makes up only about 30% of the 'native' British DNA from England, Scotland and Wales yet red hair is far more common here than in Scandinavia of Germany. If it originated in Scandinavia or Germany it would be far more common there. true red hair is extremely rare in Scandinavia and what there is may actually come from slaves or wives brought from the British isles.
She wasn't a warrior, nor was she a man. But every man that stood there (most of which wanted to rape, pillage and kill each other) had to be won by her rhetoric. Amateur gamers forget just how fragmented most of Romes enemies were, each and every time they confederated it took someone exceedingly rare to be able to pull it off. They didn't win the battle but she did help Briton in the long run. There's lots of reasons why Rome pulled out, many interconnected with one another but one significant factor was that we were an absolute pain in the ass to try and subjugate.
@@CoffeeFiend1Gaul was more of a pain it’s just the fact that Britain does not have a lot of resources and they only conquered Britain because of political reasons
