Boudica - not original, I know, but my heroine! Love the Victorian statue of her on the Embankment

@Tsamis I guess! I have always wanted to know more about the Iceni than we have good information for. Like so many things, history is written by the victor!

There was a good tv series about the Celts by Alice Roberts!

@Tsamis Yes; I didn't see it but did know about it. I remember seeing an old Michael Wood programme about the Celts. I saw a fascinating piece of research published very recently proposing that many of the stone 'inscriptions' on Celtic monuments are a form of alphabetic writing developed by copying the idea from the Romans. It makes a change to read something that isn't derived directly or indirectly from Tacitus!
