Series - The story of Rome’s invasion of Britannia

Recommended Posts

This could become epic or horrible, time will tell...

 

“Britannia” takes place in 43 AD when the Roman Emperor Claudius, who ruled over the expansionist Roman Empire, ordered the invasion of Britannia, an egalitarian land where women and men were on an equal footing.  The series, conceived to be edgy enough for pay TV, will center around three main characters: The tribal King, Prasutagus, his wife, Queen Boudicea, and Roman consul Cassius.  The eight-episode series, which is now fully developed, will depict how Cassius’ loyalty to the Roman Empire was put to test by his growing passion for Queen Boudicea, who transformed into a fearless warrior following the death of her husband Prasutagus and the rape of her daughters. Together with Cassius, Boudicea led an insurrection that brought the Empire to its knees.

One wonders whether it will be more like ROME or SPARTACUS!
