Question Answered step-by-step 1.) How did Roman writers describe the Native Britons? 2.) A… 1.) How did Roman writers describe the Native Britons? 2.) A pattern and inclination that modern historians are urged to avoid is projecting their own interests, agendas, anxieties, bias, and contemporary experiences onto the subjects they study. Discuss the way in which this pattern seems to emerge in the writings of Tacitus. 3.) 55 BC, who led the first wave of Roman invasion of Briton across the English Channel? Who is credited for finishing the job? 4.) While the Roman Empire was centralized and authoritarian, the Britons were relatively egalitarian, divided into bands which were loosely affiliated with other bands as tribes. These tribes sometimes fought one another and sometimes formed alliances, and they were headed by chieftains heavily reliant upon the consent of warriors and negotiations with followers. How did the Romans bring such a people under control and submission? 5.) Boudica’s people were the Iceni, a Celtic Briton tribe that had formed an alliance with the Romans but remained in a state of tension as the Romans infringed upon their independence and right to bear weapons. To better control the Iceni, the Romans installed Boudica’s husband as king/chieftain. He died with a disputed will. Who/what was the inheritance dispute between?  Episode 108: What Should We Believe About Boudica? Part IIRequired: Start around minute 13:00ish- 57:00ish (about 44 minutes) 1.) Why did Boudica’s husband likely handle his will as he did (in reference to #5)? What were likely his intentions?2.) How did the Romans (led by the tax-collector) respond?3.)

Boudica responds by getting in her chariot and rallying a rebellion against the Roman occupiers. This begs the question of, “was it common for Celtic women to participate in warfare?” What evidence do we have of a connection between at least some Celtic women and militarism?5.)
