Jugurtha: Rome’s Relentless Enemy

In the first century CE, only a few decades after Rome began its conquest of Britain, one rebellion threatened to overturn Roman power across the province. At its center stood Boudica, queen of the Iceni, whose uprising in 60 or 61 CE brought together several British groups against the occupying empire. What began as a dispute over Roman treatment of the Iceni quickly developed into a devastating revolt that swept through some of the most important settlements of Roman Britain.
