Rome thought Britain was broken.

In this third episode of the Roman invasion of Britain, we ride straight into fire, blood, and fury with Boudicca, the warrior queen who very nearly destroyed Roman rule on the island.

This is not the neat legend of school textbooks. This is the raw story of humiliation, revenge, and absolute rage. A widowed queen flogged in public. Her daughters violated. A people pushed beyond endurance. What follows is one of the most terrifying rebellions the Roman Empire ever faced.

We move from the burning of Camulodunum (Colchester) to the annihilation of a Roman legion, through Londinium (London) abandoned to the flames, and on to the final, brutal reckoning where tens of thousands die in a single afternoon.

This episode charts Boudicca’s astonishing rise, her command of mass rebellion, and the moment everything turns. Triumph gives way to catastrophe, and a woman who shook Rome to its foundations is erased from the battlefield, but never from history.

This is the fall of Boudicca, and the moment Britain’s fate is sealed under Roman steel. Dark, dramatic, and utterly gripping, this is Rome at its most ruthless, and Britain at its most defiant.
