- Boudicca's army reportedly rivaled between 100,000 and 200,000 people, but this number included women and children.
- In the revolt, the Iceni did not take any prisoners- they killed everyone, ransacked the town and burnt it to the ground.
- They would paint their bodies, and spike their hair up high with lime, blow their war horns and make lots of noise in the hope of scaring the enemy.
- In the final battle between the Britons and the Romans, the Britons were so confident in their victory that they set their carriages with their wives and children around the area to watch. When the battle went south for the Britons, they were unable to run away as they got tangled in their belongings and were rounded up and slaughtered by the opposing Roman forces.
