In a move away from the usual, thematic, Shire topic, Paul Sealey’s The
Boudician Revolt Against Romegets specific. In AD 60, the indigenous Iceni
and Trinovantes joined forces under Boudicca against the oppressive Roman
presence. Sealey tracks Boudicca’s revolt archaeologically from the sacking of
London, Colchester, and Verulamium (St Albans) to her defeat in battle a year
later. Hastily buried hoards of Icenian coins and metal work and layers of burnt
deposits, including perfectly preserved dates, bring this pivotal event to life.
