Why did boudicca lose against the Romans in the Battle?
Boudicca failed against the Romans for obvious reasons. The first was that she did not know what she was doing as she was no military leader. She seemed to be blinded by the quest for revenge rather than common sense (if she had any in the first place). The second reason was that she had no control over her so-called army. She may have condoned the burning, looting, and the mutilation and torture of the Romans and Celts in Londinium, Verrulamium and Camulodium, as it was relatively easy to attack and win over unarmed civilians and skeleton troops. However when Paulinus got word of her attacks and marched his legions back, it was a very different story. Boudicca's troops had swelled to an estimated 250,000 once word got around of the loot that was taken from the three towns that were devastated. They were undisciplined and almost impossible to control. They were overconfident that they would win over Paulinus and his under manned legions. Boudicca allowed Paulinus to pick the battlefield. Big mistake, as all the natural advantages of the terrain aided the Romans. In addition, Boudicca's "army" had never faced a full Roman legion on a battlefield. They had never encountered the awesome Roman discipline and their battle tactics. As it turned out, Boudicca's 250,000 were defeated by Paulinus' less than 10,000, with the Celts suffering a loss of 80,000 while the Romans lost 400.
Did the Romans defeat Boudicca?
Because Boudicca and the Romans had a difference of opinion. Her husband was a client king of Rome and living under Roman law. When he died he willed half of his kingdom to Nero, the Caesar at the time, and the other half to his wife. However because of Roman law a woman could not inherit,(except for a small restricted amount) from any husband or male relative. When Boudicca went to try and claim her inheritance, it was denied, she got nasty and so did the Romans. They flogged her and raped her two daughters.

Why was bouducca's army different to the Romans?
Boudicca's "army" was a looting, raping, murderous gang of various British tribes. Boudicca herself had little control over them due to her lack of military skill. Although they greatly outnumbered the Romans, they were nothing more than a mob. They were able to do damage to the Romans and innocent civilians because the legions were away in South Wales at the time of the revolt and they were basically attacking unarmed civilians. The Romans, on the other hand, were a professional army. They were disciplined, had armor and better weapons. When Paulinus heard of the trouble he hurried back and his well trained army of less that 10,000 men defeated Boudicca's mob of 230,000.
