The Celts to Bodicacia and the Battle of Watling Street
 
 
 
 
                      Boudica

Boudica means Victor, or Victory, or Victoria
 
 

bodocaciatombstone.jpg

Tombstone from the 200s AD with Latin
inscription found in a mass grave site
in Gloucestershire in early 2016
 
It reads:
 
D.M. BODICACIA CONIUNX VIXIT ANNOS XXVIl
 
('To the Shades of the Dead. Bodicacia (my) wife lived 27 years.‘)
 
Evidently not the same person as the Iceni queen.
