According to Roman historians, Boudica was tall and strong with long red hair.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>She is often pictured wearing a <strong>gold torque <\/strong>(necklace) and carrying a <strong>spear<\/strong>. Even her name was powerful \u2013 it comes from an Ancient Celtic world meaning &#8216;<strong>victory<\/strong>&#8216;!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.
