Britannī ad arma volant. Colōniam Camulodūnum expugnant; templum illud Claudiī, ubi veterānī sē occultāverant, cremant. Intereā Suētōnius ex īnsulā Monā cum decem mīlibus virōrum ad Tamesam properāvit. Nam Londīnium, quamquam nōndum colōnia Rōmāna erat, tamen iam tum cōpiā mercātōrum et nāvigiōrum celebre erat. Sīc Tacitus in capite tertiō et trīcēsimō librī quārtī decimī Annālium affirmat. Sed urbem ex clāde servāre nōn poterat. Britannī Londīnium et Verulamium oppugnant, septuāgintā mīlia Rōmānōrum trucīdant, ingentem praedam captant. Suētōnius suōs prope silvam collocāverat, et sē ad proelium parābat. Britannī Rōmānōs numerō virōrum multum superābant, et exspectātiōne victōriae triumphārunt. Sed paucī illī Rōmānī magnam victōriam reportāvērunt; Britannī contrā legiōnēs Rōmānās stāre nōn poterant, quia Rōmānī eōs pondere armōrum et scientiā bellī multum superābant. In illō proeliō Rōmānī octōgintā mīlia virōrum et fēminārum trucīdāvērunt; nam Britannī fēminās suās in vehiculīs apportāvērunt, proeliī spectandī causā. Boadicēa ipsa sē mortī dedit.
