In 60 AD, a significant event was the Boudica's Revolt against Roman rule in Britain. Boudica, the queen of the Iceni tribe, led a major uprising against the Roman Empire following the mistreatment of her people and the seizure of her kingdom. The revolt initially saw some successes, including the destruction of the Roman city of Camulodunum (modern Colchester) and the defeat of Roman forces. However, the rebellion was ultimately suppressed, leading to severe repercussions for the Britons.
The ancient Celts did not burn down Colchester; rather, it was the Romans who faced significant resistance from Celtic tribes during their invasion of Britain. Colchester, known as Camulodunum, was one of the first Roman cities established in Britain around AD 49. It was later attacked and destroyed by Boudica and her forces in AD 60 or 61 during a revolt against Roman rule, which is often conflated with Celtic activities in the region.
