| [00:02.181] |
In a show of brutal arrogance, the local governor, had East Anglia declared a slave province. |
| [00:08.276] |
To make the point about exactly who owned whom |
| [00:11.224] |
Boudicca was then treated to a public flogging while her two daughters were raped in front of her. |
| [00:19.943] |
In 60 AD,Boudicca rose up in furious revolt, quickly gathering an army bent on vengeance. |
| [00:27.183] |
With the cream of the Roman troops tied down suppressing an insurgency in north Wales |
| [00:33.038] |
Boudicca's army marched towards the place which most symbolised the now-hated Rom |
| [00:38.857] |
An colonisation of Britain, Colchester. |
| [00:42.097] |
It helped that it was lightly garrisoned. |
| [00:44.736] |
After a firestorm march through eastern England |
| [00:47.068] |
Burning Roman settlements one by one |
| [00:49.422] |
It was the city's turn. |

| [01:10.022] |
If the terrified Romans, thought they were going to escape the implacable anger of Boudicca |
| [01:15.843] |
They were seriously out of luck. |
| [01:18.034] |
With thousands of them huddled terrified, in the temple above these foundations |
| [01:23.760] |
She began to set light to it. |
| [01:25.606] |
They must have been able to smell the scorch and smoke and fire coming towards them, |
| [01:30.618] |
as the whole of their spanking new imperial city burned down with themselves and everything else here buried in smoke and ash. |
| [01:39.884] |
Thousands died in this place. Boudicca had her revenge. |
