Published: 29th June 2026
In this fascinating talk from our recent Britain and the Romans course, Professor William Bowden examines the evidence for the life of Boudicca, exploring what archaeology and classical sources can – and cannot – tell us about one of Roman Britain's most iconic figures. By separating evidence from conjecture, the session offers valuable subject knowledge while demonstrating how historians use different types of sources to construct interpretations of the past, making it an engaging resource for both teachers and students.
