You are Queen of the Iceni tribe.
Your husband is dead. He left one third of his wealth to you, one third to your
daughters and one third to the Romans.
The Romans don’t allow women to own property so they attacked your tribe and
stole the rest of your dead husband’s wealth.
Your daughters were raped, you were whipped and your people were made slaves.
You are fierce, proud and brave. You cannot and will not accept what has happened
to you, your family and your people. You have had enough of living under Roman
rule.
You are led by your Queen, Boudicca. Recently her husband died, leaving one third
of his wealth to Boudicca, one third to his daughters and one third to the Romans.
The Romans don’t allow women to own property so they attacked your tribe and
stole the rest of the dead king’s wealth.
Boudicca’s daughters were raped, she was whipped and your people were made
slaves.
You are loyal to your Queen, and have had enough of the Romans.
You live near to the Iceni. You have not been treated badly by the Romans, but you
still do not like being ruled by them. You are worried by the size of the Iceni tribe
and feel it is usually best to agree with them.
You command the 9th legion based at Lindum. Your job is to keep the peace by
making sure no Britons try to fight back against the Romans.
You don’t have all your men available at this time, but you do have the utmost
confidence in the training and ability of your men.
You are responsible for looking after the people of your town. Your people are
mainly retired Roman soldiers.
You are outnumbered, but you are Romans. You have stone buildings to defend.
Running is unlikely to save you as you have women and children with you and you
only have a few horses.

You are Governor of Britain and are responsible for keeping the peace. You have
just defeated the last bit of resistance in North Wales.
You have a large number of legionaries with you. You also have the 9th legion at
Lindum, and the 2nd legion at Isca.
You are a Roman and believe you are invincible. You also realise that good training
and tactics are the most important reason for being invincible.
You command the 2nd legion based at Isca. Your job is to keep the peace by making
sure no Britons try to fight back against the Romans.
You have to follow the orders of your commander, but you are very frightened
about what you heard happened to the 9th legion.
You are not sure whether to fight the Iceni and risk being massacred, or keep the
legion safe and attack later.
You are a highly trained fighting machine. You have great confidence in your
equipment and your training and have been victorious in all your battles. You are
trained to follow orders without question.
You have helped your commander, Paulinus, defeat the last remaining British
resistance in Mona.
You are responsible for looking after the people of your town.
Londinium is a large city, but very difficult to defend. Some of your people cannot
believe that the Iceni could take the city, but others are not so sure. Some are
too old or weak to escape.
