[the-history-of-fighting]

I am not fighting for my kingdom and wealth. I am fighting as an ordinary person for my lost freedom....Consider how many of you are fighting - and why.

Then you will win this battle, or perish. That is what I, a woman, plan to do! - let the men live in slavery if they will.

Why is it we talk about Rome and Nero without ever bringing up Queen Boudicca and her rebellion when she was a major military threat at the time? I never hear about Boudicca without Nero being at least mentioned, but you hear about Nero in documentaries and she is never mentioned.

She went to war with the most powerful military at the time and caused serious concern and unrest; conquered Roman cities in Britannia. She went to war becaus the Roman’s disregarded her and her daughters as heirs to her husband’s land, whipped her in front of her people, and raped her daughters. We still do her a disjustice by not making her worth mentioning when talking about Roman history.

TRIDENT CARS

This is a little known English car company, who were founded in 1966, as when the Beatles pop-group were at their peak. It then ceased trading in 1978 due to the global recession. But then in 2009 it came back with modern model for the 21st century, as shown above in pics 2 to 4, as called the Iceni. Then this year it launched a new model called the ‘Iceni magna’ - as shown in the 1st photo.

Iceni is the name of a Celtic warrior tribe from over 3000 years ago in ancient England, as this company is based in the same region as their tribal-land was.
