As I'm sure you know, this version of the treatment of Boudicca and her daughters by the Romans is more or less historically accurate.

The Victorian statue of Boudicca and her daughters on the Embankment in London shows her daughters as being adults, standing side by side with their warrior mother. Other versions depict them as being much younger, including one recent fictionalised account (by Manda Scott) which puts the ages of the daughters at fourteen and eight. There's a limit to how much we can know for certain, the only two historical versions having both been written by Romans and both many years after the event.

All things considered, as well as my "compositional" reason for not wanting to show Boudicca's backstory in flashback (see the notes to the credits page), you can probably now see why I didn't feel it would be appropriate to show this scene in pictures. Particularly while Stan was taking Becky's measurements!

We'll be continuing Boo's story on the next couple of pages but - as you'll no doubt realise - from here on in it's all fiction!
