Statue of Boadicea, Thames Embankment, London
Statue of Boadicea, Thames Embankment, London. After the death of Boudiccas husband Prasutagus, leader of the Iceni, the Romans confiscated his lands, committing various atrocities, including the rape of Boudiccas daughters. This prompted Boudicca and the Iceni to launch a revolt against the Romans in 61 AD. The revolt was initially successful, with Colchester, London and St Albans brutally sacked. Eventually Boudiccas army was defeated by a Roman force under Seutonius Paullinus, after which Boudicca is said to have committed suicide by taking poison. This bronze statue by Thomas Thornycroft depicting her in a chariot together with her daughters was unveiled in the 1850s
