  1. I can't call her a hero by modern standards, but she didn't do anything that wasn't in-style at the time. And to be honest, Rome started it. And to those who claim that Rome brought civilization, they really didn't: the British tribes, including the Iceni, had already built cities, were experimenting with road-building, had an official currency, and even recognized borders with other tribal territories. They weren't constantly in-fighting, either, and while relations weren't all sunshine and rainbows, they weren't always baying for each other's blood. Roman thuggishness directly provoked the rebellion, and this sort of behavior paved the way for the empire's ultimate collapse. The only good thing that came out of this was that the idiots who provoked the rebellion and the guy who suppressed it were called back to Rome and replaced by less provocative ministers.
