If I were narrating/explaining tuis barbarian savage, I would have emphasized the man, and the legion ---13th Gemina, I believe---who utterly smashed Boudica's frothing horde of maniacs through the brilliant employment of generalship, tactics, weaponry and roman discipline. But of course we mustn't engage in such 'historical' frivolities. Absoluetly not! Instead, rather, we must learn of the rampant anti-feminism of the kind that Rome and Romans practiced, according to our expert Ms. Hughes (leaving out of the equation Agrippina, Nero's mother, Augustus' wife, Germanicus' wife, among others who suffered quietly in gender-based subserviency, alongside other historically tamous women relegated to the backwaters of Roman influence and power). But I had best stop this line of abuse , lest I be perceived as being overly critical of Ms. Hughes methods and labeled a chauvinist, or worse, a Roman apologist!
