로마가 두 개로 분리된 이유
캘트족의 여성 지도자 카시우스
If ruling Rome was like having the biggest candy bar in a group of hungry people, ruling the entire empire was like having a candy bar as big as a car. How could you keep the whole candy bar safe? While you were protecting one side ofit, a hungry person could sneak up and take a bite out of theother side. And if you ran around to protect the other side, you would leave the first side without anyone to guard it. - P300
One of these disobedient Celtic tribes was particularly annoying to the Romans because their leader was a woman! In ancient times, women weren‘t considered to be brave or strong. Men thought it was very embarrassing to be beaten by a woman.
But the leader of this Celtic tribe was no ordinary woman.
She was a powerful warrior queen named Boadicea. A Roman writer named Cassius described Boadicea: She was very tall, taller than a man, and her voice was strong and powerful, loud enough to echo from mountain to mountain. She had fierce, piercing eyes, and long, thick, red-brown hair that hung down past her waist. She wore a billowing tartan cloak and a thick gold collar around her neck. - P297
