I understand that the uprising id the Iceni and the preceeding events roughly occured as the story goes. However, I struggle to believe the Romans confiscated the tribes lands and just had Boudicca clogged and her daughters raped. Were there actions that caused this extreme Roman aggression? Or was it stock standard for the Romans, upon absorbing a client, to savage the social elite he leave them alive? Or were these events added to the story over years to create sympathy for the rebellion?
/u/Tiako and /u/iguana_on_a_stick double-teamed this fantastic thread about Boudicca a few months ago, including analysis of the primary source accounts. I definitely recommend checking out both their posts!
Sorry for the typos hope it is still legible
