Heh... or King Arthur for that matter... oh, wait, whomever the character Arthur represented, he was resisting the ancestors of the English, while Boadicea was resisting the Romans. Big difference. ;')

Had someone gotten rid of Nero a little earlier, the Romans were well on their way to conquest of all the British Isles, and I don't doubt that they would have succeeded.

Thanks for those posts.

I don't think they would have gone much farther than they did. The Romans, being the Romans, apparently did a cost/benefit analysis before they hit Britain. They apparently overestimated what the place was worth. One could argue that Bouddica KEPT the Romans in England. Nero, apparently, contemplated withdrawing because the upkeep was a net loss to the Treasury. While they were arguing about the dishonor of leaving, the biddy attacked. At that point NO Roman Emperor was going to allow withdrawal.

I think the cost analysis approach was one of the reasons the Romans never invaded Ireland, and made no serious attempt to overrun Scotland.
