Here's her statue in London. It features her with her two daughters who fought beside her on their horse chariot against the Romans. The Iceni's allowed women to lead in battle which was extremely rare especially in that era.

That's some statue.
I was reading somewhere years ago that whatever the horse's stance is in the statue, has a meaning of how the person died or was killed.
For example, the front legs of the horse Boudica is on, has the legs in the air.
I wish I could remember what the symbolism means. Maybe I can find it on google.

I found this on google and copied and pasted it.
As the page explains, the theory is that on a statue of a solider on horseback, if the horse is depicted with one hoof off the ground, the soldier was wounded in battle (and may have died later from the wounds); Two raised hooves indicate that the soldier died in battle. If the statue shows all four hooves on the ground, the rider survived all battles unharmed.

This is a "state" thread

On the New mexico page we start threads.
What goes into those threads are conversations, chats whatever you want to call em' as well as comments. That my friend is good enough.

Go start a "Conversation" off topic thread somewhere else.. Not here.


Sorry, But seriously that is the most stupidest thing I have heard since I have created my account a year and three months ago. We should be focusing on adding more cities to the list not offtopic conversations.
