With my husband King Prasutagus I rule over the tribe of the Iceni in the east of this land. When the Romans came my husband made friends with them and he was allowed to keep his lands.

I suppose we live better now than before they came. As part of the Roman Empire we can now buy things which come from distant lands, like oils, wines and perfumes. As Queen I am rich and can afford things like this.

I still have my worries though. I do not think the Romans care for us and I still like to keep to my old Celtic ways. I still dress like a Celt and not like a Roman woman. I care for my people and hope that we can live together in peace with the Romans.
