No male warriors? No accuracy wholesale.

Roman writers Tacitus and Dio relate that hoardes of male warriors - many semi-naked and their hair 'limed up'- dashed at the Roman lines holding longswords and shields (where were the latter). Not in this debacle.

This film depicts Boudica in animal skins chariot-racing to the enemy ahead of an army of pre-pubescents?

Rape was deliberately designed to be used by the Romans against Boudica's daughters as a vicious, sacrilegious insult to her and the huge Iceni tribe and their gods. This was seen by the Iceni (and many decent Romans too)as the ultimate offence, thus spurring them into a furious, vengeful revolt.

Under Roman law, flogging of free women was v.rare even in punishment, and any male found guilty of rape of a free woman was usually executed. This act displays the Roman contempt for a queen/woman and intention to degrade the Britons.

Maybe there was this in mind when Boudica, a free and noble woman, was not raped, and also her daughters, free and noble but not yet women, were?
