Boudicca was actually only in one battle, which was the Battle of Wattling Street and she lost, big time. The cities and places that she pillaged were not able to put up more than a token resistance because they were undefended. Her "army" was nothing more than a wild undisciplined mob and when they had to engage in an actual battle against a real army, they were slaughtered.
The site of the battle in which the Roman Army defeated Boudicca is not known with certainty. It is thought to be in the English West Midlands.
Though she had the larger army, there was no strategy involved on her part, and they were very disorganized.
Most sources say Boudicca was defeated in 60AD. A few say 61AD. Take your pick.
Queen Boudicca's rebellion, and her defeat, occurred in 60 or 61 AD, the year is not more certain that that.

It is said that the Romans used the "pig's head" formation against Boudicca and her forces. This was a vee shaped formation in which the Romans pushed into the attacking enemy with a wall of shields. The enemy could get into the spaces between the "vees" and then the back ranks of the Romans would turn and dispatch the entrapped enemy. However, the Roman were victorious not only because of their tactics, but of their discipline and training. War was their business, they knew what to do and how to do it. Their training and skill is what enabled less than 10,000 men to defeat a mob of 230,000 and slaughter 80,000 with only 400 losses.
