Description: Two major written accounts of Boudicca remain from antiquity: Tacitus' Annals Book 14, and the Epitome of Dio's Roman History, Book 62. The works of these two authors form the centrepiece of the methodology of this study, which focuses on the Latin and Greek texts, particularly the style, sentiments, vocabulary and multi-layered meanings contained therein. While additional background on the Boudicca uprising is needed for context (namely modern historical interpretations of the years AD 60-61, as well as the limited but ever-increasing archaeological records), the two ancient authors are of foremost importance because they present the uprising in terms of their own values, moralities and social structures (features of their writings that are of vital significance to a study of Boudicca).
