Why did boudicca lose against the Romans in the Battle?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Boudicca was defeated by the Romans because she had no control over her so-called army and no battle plan. Although Boudicca's forces greatly outnumbered the Romans, they were easily defeated, or perhaps slaughtered would be a better word. The bottom line is: Boudicca had a mob; the Romans had an army. In that type of situation, a trained disciplined army could easily overcome a howling mob, no matter how outnumbered.

Answer 3

Boudicca lost against the Romans because she had no army. She had a massive, undisciplined mob that was only out for loot and booty. The Romans, on the other hand, were an army, with tactics and discipline. Even though vastly outnumbered, the Romans, were able to slaughter Boudicca's fighters. This was the difference between an army and a mob.

Answer 4

Boudica was successful while the bulk of the Roman army was away from the areas she attacked. Eventually the Roman army was regrouped and won the final battle because:

1) the Roman army was professional and the soldiers more were well drilled and disciplined than the warriors of the enemy

2) the Romans fought taking advantage of being on the height of a hill

3) the Romans showered the enemy with javelins while the enemy run towards the hill

3) the Roman swords were shorter and lighter that those of the enemy and they were easier to use in close combat

4) Boudica travelled with all of her people. The warriors were followed by women, children, old men and carts to carry their belongings. This crowd cut off retreat for the warriors
