Women an ancient Rome were allowed to do almost anything they wanted except vote. Oh, there were laws supposedly restricting women's legal rights, but a woman could always get around them. For example, a woman legally had to have a male guardian. This was usually her father or husband, but not always. If the woman had neither she was free to choose her own guardian and change him at any time. There were also inheritance laws that restricted the amount a woman could inherit from her husband. But there was nothing to prevent the husband from signing over properties to his wife while he was alive.

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.

How did Romans become empires?

Rome became an empire by building up an army and conquering their neighbors. Because they were relatively decent to the people they conquered, they were able to compound the size of their army by adding people from conquered lands and thus the Roman army became absolutely gigantic for ancient standards. This allowed them to conquer most of the world the Romans knew of at that time.
