According to the ancient historian Tacitus, Boudicca was flogged and her daughters were raped when the Romans decided to take over her kingdom when her husband Prasutagus, the king of Iceni, died. According to another ancient historian, Cassius Dio, Prasutagus had borrowed heavily from Roman financiers to finance his lavish lifestyle. When he died the creditors called in their loans and his subjects were liable for this large debt. The second story is more likely. Cassius Dio also said Seneca the Younger (the famous philosopher, dramatist and statesman) was among the creditors.
