Don’t see where that has anything at all to do with it.

Is that third pic, Boudicca the woman who led a revolt agaisnt the Romans in Britainna? Her and her army destroyed towns and the city of Londinium, trapping the civilians in some large building and slaughtering them all. She led a what would have been considered a terrorist revolt these days.

Although the story has it she was queen of the Icini, the dominant tribe in southern Britian, and some roman officers raped her daughters, and that’s why she started the rebellion.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Tacitus makes no mention of Boudicca actually engaging in physical combat during her revolt against the Romans. I mean, she can be pointed to as an example of a female leader in history who led her people against a foreign occupying power, but there is no reason to think she was cutting down Legionaries left and right in a show of physical prowess.

I imagine the recent History Channel documentary on Barbarians vs Rome showed her engaging in combat in some absurd display, but I didn’t watch that episode because the first one about Hannibal was laughable and mistake-ridden.

Fantasy world. You don’t make rules for exceptions and warriors are not soldiers. Similar, but very different.
