Ah, Boudicca was a fierce warrior queen who fought with bravery and determination. She and her followers used traditional Celtic weapons like swords, spears, and javelins to defend their land and people. Despite facing great challenges, Boudicca's strength and courage inspired many to stand up for what they believed in.
Boudicca, the Celtic queen of the Iceni tribe, utilized a variety of weapons during her rebellion against the Roman Empire in 60-61 AD. These weapons likely included swords, spears, and javelins commonly used by Celtic warriors. Boudicca's forces may have also employed slingshots and other ranged weapons to engage the Roman soldiers from a distance. The exact weapons used by Boudicca and her army are not explicitly documented, but historical accounts suggest they employed traditional Celtic armaments in their fight against the Roman forces.
The main weaponry used by the Celtic armies during Boudicca's rebellion were heavy double-sided swords, bows & arrows, daggers, spears, sling-shots, and a form of metal-tipped javelin. Flaming barrels of tar were also used to set fire to buildings, being ignited and then rolled into Roman military structures; also battering-rams were used to break down town or fortress doors. Celtic war-chariots had double-bladed swords or long spikes set into their wheel-hubs, which were designed to slice the legs from Roman infantry.
The traditional Celtic shield was round, made of bronze or leather-covered wood studded with brass roundels, and sometimes with spikes in the middle.
It is possible, however, that Boudicca's armies also used captured Roman armour and weaponry, turning them against their former owners. They would certainly have found the superior design of the Roman infantry shield very useful. They may also have captured and learned how to use Roman 'artillery'- that is, the heavy catapults and javelin-hurling ballista's used by the Roman military engineers.
Boudicca used no tactics. Her so-called army consisted of mobs of tribesmen with little or no discipline. They were able to overwhelm the poorly defended or defenseless cities that they rampaged through due to their superior numbers. However when they faced a real army at the Battle of Watling Street, they were slaughtered even though they vastly outnumbered the Roman forces. The battle of Watling Street clearly showed the difference between an army and a mob.

Boudicca reveived no punishment from the Romans. It is said she poisoned herself rather than face the consequences.
Boudicca was not terrifying to her own people. In fact, she was a hero to them. But she was terrifying to the Romans as she had no control over her so-called army and they rampaged and committed atrocities against the Romans.
Budicca fought against the Romans because the Romans sneakily stole her land by saying they will look after it but they actually they turned it into an roman city a 9 year old girl told me this and evrey website sed its true
Imagined portrait of Boudicca ©Boudicca was queen of the Iceni people of Eastern England and led a major uprising against occupying Roman forces. Boudicca was married to Prasutagus, ruler of the Iceni people of East Anglia. When the Romans conquered southern England in AD 43, they allowed Prasutagus to continue to rule. However, when Prasutagus died the Romans decided to rule the Iceni directly and confiscated the property of the leading tribesmen. They are also said to have stripped and flogged Boudicca and raped her daughters. These actions exacerbated widespread resentment at Roman rule. In 60 or 61 AD, while the Roman governor Gaius Suetonius Paullinus was leading a campaign in North Wales, the Iceni rebelled. Members of other tribes joined them. Boudicca's warriors successfully defeated the Roman Ninth Legion and destroyed the capital of Roman Britain, then at Colchester. They went on to destroy London and Verulamium (St Albans). Thousands were killed. Finally, Boudicca was defeated by a Roman army led by Paulinus. Many Britons were killed and Boudicca is thought to have poisoned herself to avoid capture. The site of the battle, and of Boudicca's death, are unknown.
Boudicca lost her revolt against the Romans because she did not have the troops or the organization that the Romans had. She rallied her tribesmen to fight against the Roman army bu they were greatly outnumbered in men, weapons and strategy.

The Romans used weapons to fight and win their opponent. Romans had at least two weapons on them at the same time just to be safe. :)
