>>103900449>>103900489for Ancient warfare standards, raping, pillaging and murdering was pretty standard, but Boudicca's "rebel army" was basically a huge fucking mob of 200-300k people, practically the entire Iceni tribe + other britons. Her army was mostly civilians and peasants looking to loot and get their jollies from the slaughter, few of them actual soldiers meaning to wage war or even actually drive the Romans out. Instead of chasing the garrisons(and Paulinus' army) she just let them cut loose on Roman colonists with every her intention was both to ethnically cleanse them and also to terrify them enough not to ever come back. She had suffered Roman abuse but she was also entirely evil in her decision.
Queens weren't that uncommon for Celtic culture, though, not that they were particularly respected for it. Celt mostly waged very limited war against each other for cultural and religious purposes, not for conquest or real defense, so few Celts knew how to conduct warfare on a more sophisticated level. Kings and queens often relied on war chiefs to do the thinking for them, it's hard to speak of "warrior queens" among them, Boudicca's utter blunder at Watling Street is a big teller of this.
Anyway i think this count as animation so you should watch it
