Boudica was queen of the Iceni in Roman Britain who led a major revolt against Roman rule around 60–61 CE.

Destruction of Camulodunum: The Iceni-led destruction of the Roman colonia at Camulodunum during the revolt of 60–61 CE. Boudica's forces first struck the Roman colony and veterans' settlement at Camulodunum.
Iceni: An ancient people of eastern Britain whose territory became a Roman client kingdom and later part of the province. Boudica's royal authority came from her position among this eastern British people.
Tacitus: A Roman historian whose works include accounts of Boudica's revolt and its suppression. His Annals and Agricola are the fullest surviving ancient narratives of the revolt.
Romanization of Britain: The adoption and adaptation of Roman political, economic, and cultural practices in Britain under Roman rule. The revolt challenged Roman rule but did not halt the province's longer transformation.
Battle of the River Medway: A major battle in Boudica's revolt, probably fought near the River Medway in southern Britain. It was one of the revolt's major clashes with Roman forces, though its location remains disputed.
Prasutagus: The Iceni king who ruled as a Roman client and was Boudica's husband. His death and attempted division of his kingdom preceded the revolt.
Cassius Dio: A Greek-speaking Roman senator and historian who wrote a later account of Boudica's revolt. His narrative preserves details absent from Tacitus, while also shaping Boudica's speeches and image.
Roman colonia: A Roman settlement established for citizens, often including retired soldiers, in a provincial territory. Camulodunum's status as a colonia intensified its role as a symbol of Roman occupation.
