The name Boudica or Boudicca (also known as Boadicea or in Welsh, Buddug) is known from a couple of ancient sources. Tacitus (Annals) calls her Boudicca, while Cassius Dio (Roman History), who wrote in Greek, called her Βουδουῖκα - Boudouika. As the name, however it is spelt, is linked to the Celtic word for 'victory', it is unclear if this was her real name, or a title bestowed upon her.

In Celtic the name was most probably pronounced along the lines of Boadika, the 'Boa' sound like the bow of 'bow and arrow'. Boudica was a queen of the Iceni tribe who were based around modern day Norfolk. She led an uprising against the Romans in AD 60 or 61 and died following her defeat, perhaps by poisoning herself.

Her characteristic image, with long flaming hair, is a modern invention. Cassius Dio is the only author to give us a description (this from a man who was born a hundred years after her death). He describes her in the following way (LXII 2.2):

"In stature she was very tall, in appearance most terrifying, in the glance of her eye most fierce, and her voice was harsh; a great mass of the tawniest hair fell to her hips; around her neck was a large golden necklace; and she wore a tunic of divers colours over which a thick mantle was fastened with a brooch. This was her invariable attire."

Boadicea not only routed the armies of mighty Rome but she captured the Roman cities of London, Colchester, and St. Albans before she was finally faced with capture by the reinforced legions under Suetonius Paulinus. Rather than submit to the indignity of display in a Roman Triumph, this magnificent queen put an end to her life in A.D. 62.

How different had been the behavior of her fellow Briton Caractacus, captured in A.D. 51, only eleven years earlier, by the Roman general Publius Ostorius. Taken to Rome in chains, Caractacus was displayed in a Triumph to all the citizens; and on reaching the imperial box he cravenly pleaded for his life: "My death would be followed by oblivion; but if you save my life, I shall be an everlasting memorial to your clemency." The soft-hearted Emperor Claudius forgave him but forbade his return to Britain; and Caractacus spent the remainder of his inglorious life a captive in Rome.

Tacitus records the amazement of the Romans when Caractacus, on this occasion, true to his Celtic upbringing, made his first obeisance to the empress and "did homage to Agrippina in the same language of praise and gratitude as he addressed the Emperor." It is interesting that Caractacus remains a heroic figure, a name to be reckoned with in world history, while the far braver and more noble Boadicea has been forgotten except as the "unnatural Virago," the “anomaly,” the "unfeminine freak" of early British history.
