Wife, Queen, Roman?
View through CrossRef
Chapter 2 investigates Boudica’s status as the wife of a client king and the lifestyle of her Iceni. Dio labels Boudica as a queen, using a Roman term with political implications that may be inaccurate. Queens are fearsome and anxiety-producing for the Romans, as seen by the examples of Tullia and Cleopatra. Cartimandua, queen of the Brigantes in Britain and client queen of Rome, is characterized as a moral foil to Boudica in our texts. Cracks in the client regent system are revealed by Cartimandua and Prasutagus. As the wife of the client king Prasutagus, Boudica may have been a Roman citizen, but her political authority is ambiguous. Archaeological evidence indicates how different peoples experienced the Roman presence: the land of the Iceni and the three sites Boudica destroyed represent four separate types of interaction between Romans and Britons.
