  Boudicca
Seutonius writes that the lands of allied princes (reges socii) were considered by Rome to be parts of the Empire.
Seutonius was an ambitious man and for an ambitious military man to rise and gain power and honour in Rome he needed regular victories, he needed to subdue all rebellion, he needed a victory in order to keep his name lauded by the peoples of Rome.
Seutonius made for London but with the news of the defeat of the ninth legion and the destruction of Colchester with the loss of 70,000 lives, changed his mind, things must have appeared desperate to him not least in the resulting humiliation and fall from grace in Rome that would follow so ignominious a defeat.

Seutonius Paulinus was the Roman governor of Britain around 59 AD when he became aware of increasing Briton resistance against Roman rule, especially in Cambria, or what is now known Wales.
Seutonius believed that by attacking this sacred place, the Druids would be devastated, and in turn, the Britons would lose their religious focal point and the rebellion, in time, would stop.
Seutonius Paulinus justified his act by saying that the druids were responsible for human sacrifices.

 The Guild - The battle of Watling street
Boudicca's army continued their advance northwest along the Watling Road to seek battle against the army of the Roman governor Seutonius Paulinus, as the war of retribution had become a war of liberation.
Seutonius had been campaigning with the 14th Legion against the Druids at Mona on the Isle of Anglesey.
According to Tacitus (Annals XIV), Seutonius had a total of 10,000 men, including his 14th Legion, a vexillation of the 20th Legion, and auxiliaries.

Anfhail was wearing a cream-colored underskirt with a green and gold woolen overdress, and the traditional bronze adornments.
Seutonius had forgotten just how nice it was to watch her…he’d better behave himself, at least in public.

Firstly, a lot is known about Seutonius, and he is known to be a generally accurate writer.
M.BELL I know little about Seutonius so would need further evidence of his reliability and accuracy as a writer before being able to make comment on him.
This is where Seutonius testimony starts to be seen in a better light, as we know nothing about the gospel writers.

Seutonius, a Roman historian, was the author of "The Lives of the Caesars".
Seutonius is presented as a man of learning, rather than as a failed narrative historian.
This portrait takes account of recent evidence concerning his life and seeks to clarify the character of "The Lives of the Caesars" as a description of emperors and Roman imperial society by a scholarly biographer who himself was in the service of a scholarly Caesar - the Emperor Hadrian.

 Battle of Watling Street (61 AD) -- Boudicca (Ancient British) vs. Suetonius Paulinus (Early Imperial Roman)
At this point, rather than dispersing with their loot, Boudicca was able to convince her host of the need for a decisive battle against the Romans in Britain before reinforcements could arrive from Gaul.
Boudicca's army continued their advance northwest along the Watling Road to seek battle against the army of the Roman governor Seutonius Paulinus, as the war of retribution had become a war of liberation.
Seutonius had been campaigning with the 14th Legion against the Druids at Mona on the Isle of Anglesey.

 Tiberius
It was here where historians, mainly Seutonius would make record of his most awful actions.
Some of his actions are "too vile to discuss" states Seutonius.
He engaged in voyeurism which was the least of his perversities, as he arranged orgies of young men and women to watch.

 Waterlog Magazine
Seutonius was away at the time, putting down revolting druids in Anglesey, which he carried out with such characteristic thoroughness that few have been seen there since.
After sorting the druids, Seutonius planted rowan trees all over the place, which is why you don’t come across many witches or warlocks in Wales, either.
Anyway, to get back to boilies, Boadicea’s idea was to empty the stews so that the Roman soldiery wouldn’t be able to make the fish sauce they used to have with almost everything, thereby damaging their resolve enough to let her get away with wasting the Home Counties and avenging the dishonour of her daughters.

 The Twelve Caesars
Seutonius didn't dare try to write a rival history book, so instead he opted for a biography on the first twelve Caesars.
Seutonius picked a topic and discusses it as it pertains to each reign.
Seutonius describes Tiberius' sexually immoral practices,accusing him of being a sex maniac in the most immoral manners, including rape and pedophilia.

 Critical Perspectives: Searching for the Historical Jesus :: American Bible Society   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Finally, Seutonius, another Roman historian and a friend of both Pliny and Tacitus, seems to mention Jesus in another context of Roman persecution, this time of Jews in 49 CE during the reign of Claudius.
Seutonius says that Claudius expelled Jews from Rome because they were stirred up by one "Chrestus." Apart from the odd spelling and assuming that this man was in Rome, this seems like a reference to Christ to some scholars.
While there is not much independent non-Christian historical information about Jesus, this lack of sources is not terribly surprising nor is it necessarily damning criticism of claims concerning Jesus' historical existence.

 Replies
Some of what Seutonius repeats is scandalous and of dubious veracity, notably his clear imputation that Nero was culpable in the great fire of Rome.
At the time the rumor was that he had done so in order to clear space for his palace, but his subsequent behavior in providing housing and food for the survivors leads us to take this with a grain of salt.
His persecution of Christians as scapegoats in that fire was opportunistic and cowardly, but not, evidently, done out of any particular animus for that new religion.

 The Acts
Claudius banished the Jews from Rome in an Imperial edict that was issued in A.D. 49 or 50.
Seutonius, a Roman biographer for the Caesars says: Claudius drove the Jews out of Rome cause they were "incessantly raising tumults at the instigation of a certain Chrestus.
Prior to this the Jews had a history of causing problems for Rome therefore, they were "violently persecuted" by 3 successive emperors, e.g.: 4,000 Jews were sent as convicts by Tiberius to the island of Sardinia.

Seutonius, for example, is full of racey tales of the dark sides of the early emperors.

 Ancient Celtic Warriors: Boudicca's Revolt & Rome vs the Celtiberians
It eventually took a force of 10,000 Legionnaires under the command of Seutonius Paulinus, to stop Boudicca and her bloodlust troops.
There was a series of battle and conflicts, which I intend to describe in full detail at a later date, with all the relevant information about Boudicca, the Druids and the battles.
Seutonius Paulinus, a determined general, pursued the Druids (whom the Romans suspected of fueling Boudicca’s anger) all the way to Anglesey where he surrounded them and destroyed every remnant of druidic influence he could find.

 Imperial Governor - some additional points
Whilst the tribes in the Province did not join the Iceni and Trinovantes in open revolt, none of the Welsh tribal lands were occupied at this time, of which the Silures in SE Wales were by far the toughest and most troublesome.
(v) finally, whilst Seutonius pursued the defeated Iceni and Trinovantes to extremes, it was the Procurator of the Province, Julius Classicianus, who appealed to Rome for his removal so that the process of healing could begin.
The recall of Seutonius ended the war so that progressive Romanisation could be further embedded even in the offending tribal areas.

Surprisingly, Seutonius and his Lives of the Ceasars languish at 221,979, and that's a book with more sex, violence, and depravity than a dozen seasons of NY Undercover combined.
The New York Times Manual of Style and Usage, presumably in great use at the newspaper known for All the News that Hasn't Been Fact Checked, is in thin air indeed at 6,348.
As surprising to me as the low ranking of Seutonius is the ranking of Favre: For the Record, the ghost written autobiography of Vicodin addiction, touchdown passes, alligator feeding, bar fights, and Super Bowls by Brett Favre.

It is unfathomable to people such as himself that there are those for whom education is a pipe dream, an unattainable aspiration prohibited by the financial situations into which they were born.
From the days of Sallust, Seutonius and Polybius on down to Edward Gibbon, education was a privilege reserved for the wealthy.
People like Seutonius and Edward Gibbon were able to write history because they could afford to; they grew up in the upper classes where education was not only affordable but often taken for granted.

By the time Paulinus got back, the Roman municipalities of St Albans and Colchester had been burned to the ground by the Britons.

 Ancient Roman Empire Forums -> Constantine's influence on you and me
Tacitus, the son-in law of Agricola (a subject of one of Tacitus' many works) had plenty of reason to dislike Domitian, but yet never mentions any religious persecutions against Christians.
Agricola, however, was a well documented victim of Domitians paranoia and had a fine career as a governor and legate cut short for this reason.
Contrarily, both Seutonius and Tacitus did leave a written record of Nero's actions, but strangely left Domitian alone.
