Trivia

Goofs
Wolfgar shows a Roman legion banner, with an elephant. Actually, in the era, the only legion who has an elephant as emblem was legion V Alaudae, stationed in Germany. The legions involved in Boudican revolt were XIV Gemina (emblem Capricorn) and XX Valeria Victrix (emblem boar).

Historically so inaccurate it's shocking.

Maybe I can make a better film. Wow how can you spend so much money on a film and cast set and not have basic knowledge about Christianity in Britain which did not enter Britain for at least 500-600 years after Boudica died?

What a joke to therefore show Christians getting punished and her walking past them lmao.

Really it's disappointing to watch films like these they can really distort your vision of history which we use these as tools to help educate ourselves in entertainment.

You've then got various other parts showing life back then traders talking about 'imported cosmetics' which I don't trust as accurate way they spoke back then along with the rest of the film and type of English used it does inspire confidence for those deeply interested in British history.
