Like Queen Boudica and Queen Victoria - two great British queens - the name Boduoc means 'victory'. Unlike these two famous women, Boduoc was a man. We know he was from the male heads (one bearded) on his silver coins and because Boduognatus, leader of the Nervii in Belgica, was also a man (Caesar, De Bello Gallico 2.23). Boduoc was a Dobunnic king, c. 20 BC/AD, and probably ruled the northern part of the territory. This fabulous gold stater of Boduoc, found at Tysoe in Warwickshire, early 1994, is one of the finest specimens known. Ex Brian Bettison collection.
