Boadicea Boudica Boudicca Defeat Dies Iceni Poison Romans Singleton Suetonius Takes Weeping

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and emotive print captures the tragic end of Boadicea (also known as Boudicca), Queen of the Iceni, after her defeat by the Romans led by Suetonius. The image shows Boadicea weeping as she takes poison to avoid falling into Roman hands, choosing death over surrender. Boadicea's story is one of courage, defiance, and ultimately tragedy. After her husband's death, she led a rebellion against Roman rule in Britain, seeking vengeance for the mistreatment of her people. Despite initial victories, including the destruction of Colchester and London, Boadicea was eventually defeated in a final battle. The print captures the raw emotion of this historical moment - a queen facing defeat and choosing to end her own life rather than submit to her enemies. Her legacy lives on as a symbol of resistance against oppression and injustice. Through this image, we are reminded of the strength and determination of Boadicea in the face of overwhelming odds. Her story continues to inspire generations with its message of standing up for what is right, even in the darkest moments.
