Armenia and the east: problematic since triumviral period, parthians are the only real rivals, geography a hinderance, succession troubles, parthian king meddles, romans must respond, cn. Invades armenia: common threats elsewhere compel compromise, parthian sponsored king allowed to rule, must receive crown rom nero in rome. Uprisings in britain: claudius" annexation / settlement of the province is still ongoing, c. suetonius paulinus, 58 ce, resistance from the druids, rebellion among the iceni, kingdom left to the romans, romans aggressively confiscate territory. In collecting what they thought was owed to them: the romans mistreat the king"s widow, boudicca, rob her of her land, flog her and allow her daughters to be raped. Iceni and trinovantes stage a major rebellion: colony at camulodunum captured and burned, roman army routed, march on londinium, massacre of 70 000 romans, suetonius paulinus eventually defeat her army, boudicca commits suicide, settlement of province continues.
