What other queen in the ancient times was similar to Cleopatra? Why?

Answer 1

Boudica (also Boudicca, formerly better known as Boadicea) (d. 60/61) was a queen of the Brythonic Celtic Iceni people of Norfolk in Eastern Britain who led a major uprising of the tribes against the occupying forces of the Roman Empire. Upon the death of her husband Prasutagus, the Romans annexed his kingdom and brutally humiliated Boudica and her daughters, spurring her leadership of the revolt.

In 60 or 61, while governor Gaius Suetonius Paulinus was leading a campaign on the island of Anglesey in north Wales, Boudica led the Iceni, along with the Trinovantes and others, in a rebellion which destroyed the former Trinovantian capital and Roman colonia of Camulodunum (Colchester), and routed the Roman Legio IX Hispana under Quintus Petillius Cerialis. Boudica's army then burned to the ground the twenty-year-old settlement of Londinium (London) and destroyed Verulamium (St Albans), killing an estimated 70,000-80,000 people. Roman emperor Nero briefly considered withdrawing Roman forces from the island, but ultimately Boudica was defeated at the Battle of Watling Street by the heavily outnumbered forces of governor Suetonius.

Answer 2

Queen Hatshepsut. She, was also a powerful queen like Cleopatra. Hatshepsut [ about 1500 BC] was probably the earliest powerful woman ruler. First she ruled with her husband, after he died she had herself crowned as Pharaoh and ruled alone from 1503 to 1482 BC. Another powerful woman ruler was Boudicca , who led a British revolt against the Romans in AD 60.

Check out Hatshepsut - she was Pharaoh of Egypt. Yes, the King of Egypt even though she was a woman. I forget all the details now but I did a lot on it in my year 12 Ancient History. She's a pretty cool historical figure.
