Line of Enquiry- 'Why do you think different interpretations of Boudicca exist?'
This was the question we had to consider when we found out all about Boudicca. First of all, we looked at a statue of her and decided what clues there were from the statue that could tell us a bit more about her. We then read a primary source of Boudicca which Cassius Dio (a Roman writer) had written about her around one hundred years after her reign. We had to draw our own interpretations of what we thought she would look like from this description. We then looked at different paintings and pictures of Boudicca and this led us to discuss why there are so many different interpretations of her. We thought about how there might be bias about Boudicca depending on who you asked.....the Celts or the Romans!
