"The Scourging of Boadicea, 60AD" is an illustration from "The History of the Nation" by Joseph Skelton, which depicts a significant event in British history involving the Iceni queen Boudica (also spelled Boadicea). The illustration captures the moment of Boudica's punishment as ordered by the Romans, an act that precipitated her uprising against the Roman occupation of Britain in AD 60-61. Skelton's work, which includes this illustration, is part of a broader historical narrative that aims to document and present the history of Britain through a series of images and accompanying text.

The illustration is a visual representation of the brutal treatment of Boudica and her daughters, which is a key moment that has been recorded by ancient historians such as Tacitus and Cassius Dio. The artwork is likely to reflect the 19th-century interest in the dramatic and heroic aspects of history, as well as the Victorian fascination with the classical world. Joseph Skelton, known for his engravings and historical works, would have contributed this piece as part of his efforts to bring historical events to a contemporary audience, combining artistic interpretation with historical research.

As an important cultural artifact, "The Scourging of Boadicea, 60AD" serves not only as a historical illustration but also as a reflection of the period in which it was created, offering insights into the ways in which the Victorians engaged with and represented their past. The image of Boudica has since become emblematic of resistance and national identity in Britain, and Skelton's illustration contributes to the iconography surrounding this legendary figure.
