It is time for the finale of Ancient History 101 series 1! And we have something a little special for you to celebrate - a two week extravaganza dealing with none other than Boudica.

Featuring experts from all three of the cities Boudica burned, this episode introduces us to Iron Age Britain, contact with Rome, and who Boudica was. We also chart her growing anger (which we will see unleashed in Part 2 next week!

Joining Alexandra is Ben Paites from Colchester Museums, Kate Sumnall from London Museum, and archaeologist Lexi Diggins.
