I thought I was way off base but this is interesting. Could be, then.
I just finished reading Tacitus’s Annals and now am re-reading Suetonius 12 Caesars. Haven’t read it in a few years and thought it would be interesting to refresh my memory of it after reading Tacitus who really kept my interest. Plan at some point to read Cassius Duo but I wish they’’d discover more of these writer’s stuff.
And just around the subject, did you ever see Britannia? A bit of a mish-mosh of history and wishtory but you know that girl is gonna end up being Boudicca.
Yeah, getting some DNA and knowing where the battle took place would be something.
There is a persistent legend that a Roman officer recognized Boudicca’s younger daughter ( a young teen) who had been captured and sold as a slave. He bought her and made her a present of her freedom. Wisely, the younger woman became his wife. They retired to Rome where when she was a middle aged woman crossed paths with a older retired Gen Suetonius, whose face drained of color as he recognized who he was being introduced to.
