    Biography



    "'They are men who bathe in warm water, eat artificial dainties, drink unmixed wine, anoint themeselves with myrrh, sleep on soft couches and are slaves to the incompetent lyre player'?"
    - On the Romans

    Boudica (also Boudicca, Boadicea, Buduica, Bonduca) (d. 60/61) was a queen of the Brythonic Celtic Iceni people of Norfolk in Eastern Britain who led a major uprising of the tribes against the occupying forces of the Roman Empire.

    When Tacitus refers to Gaius Suetonius Paulinus by one name, he almost invariably uses "Suetonius" rather than "Paulinus". I think we should stick to that for consistency's sake, and have followed that in my redraft. --Nicknack00922:46, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

    When Tacitus refers to Gaius Suetonius Paulinus by one name, he almost invariably uses "Suetonius" rather than "Paulinus", and this convention is used here. It should however be noted that many later sources prefer to use "Paulinus", as "Suetonius" is usually understood to refer to the historian.
