This article aims to demonstrate – through written sources of ancient authors such as the works of Tacitus (Annals and Agricola) as well as the work of Cassius Dio (Roman History) – how the violence of occupation of the province of Britannia was placed by these authors, since the imposition of Roman power brought consequences for the life of the native community of that region. The rebellions highlighted are those of Carataco and, especially, of Boudica, giving greater emphasis to the issue of rape of the daughters of the Iceni queen. This passage corroborates with commentaries on the point of view of current scholars on this subject and the question about why these ancient writers presented such a heinous act in their works. The implications of the process of Roman invasion and the provincial take came from later results, which are demonstrated in this work through the material culture represented by epitaphs, through which the life of the native women, who have joined the Romans, which formed a cultural heterogeneity, are demonstrated.Downloads
