In AD 60, the Iceni queen Boudica ignited a rebellion that burned Londinium and three Roman settlements to ash. When Governor Gaius Suetonius Paulinus finally turned to face her vast army on Watling Street, he had only 10,000 legionaries against a reported 230,000 Britons. The result was a massacre-and the near-erasure of Roman Britain.This edition breaks down the campaign with four original tactical diagrams and maps, showing phase by phase how Suetonius deployed his outnumbered forces and why the Britons broke. Order-of-battle tables match legion numbers to their commanders, while every anecdote is sourced directly to Tacitus, Cassius Dio, and other primary historians by name.For readers of narrative military history who want the vivid story of Boudica's revolt and the precise mechanics of the slaughter on Watling Street.
