- Tribes became allies of the roman state and signed treaties, the iceni people made an agreement with Rome, Persuticus was the tribal chief of the iceani, A friendly king, loytaly to rome for roman support on his throne. Somewhat indepdendent, boudicca is a wife of persuticus
- Woad paint, celtic army and people, warriors priests women and childre, attack roman stronghold a canoladomun 50,000 warriors move as a people, boudicca was elected war queen by the celtic tribes
- Perfect time to strike bc legions and govenor suteotnis was off putting down pagan resistance to rome from the morth on and island, wanted to expland more, and they id execute those druids and destroy their sacred sites.

- Women and men, with some roman armor, chariots like traditional iceni fighting
- Worried about being overwhelmed. Don’t be afraid you will triumpg!! Used their pilums to repel and formations to destroye, hack through the outnumbering celts, heavy infantry
- The fact that romans were outnumbered did not matter due to other advantages, rotates troops in and out of combat to keep them fresh. Celts not military disciplined , to individualist in combat.
- Cavalry rides over fallen warriors. 80,000 britons, 400 romand deadthough many wounded.
