In 60/61 CE, Boudica and the Iceni people revolted against the Romans in eastern Britain. In her wave of retribution, three cities were razed to the ground, including modern day London. Today she is immortalized as a symbol of warrior's victory in art, literature, and collective memory. 

Come along with us as we explore the legendary queen who reacted with rebellion in the face of Roman betrayal through history and astrology.
