DBWI: What if Boudicca's rebellion failed?

Rome will probably over extend earlier and thus fall earlier. They might even be encouraged to have another go at Germania. Wonder how that would end.
 
If they had Britannica I think there is two likely options; another revolt throws them out the same as (OOC: DBWI's) OTL or they overextend earlier, possibly taking the north and then moving into Hibernia. This could make a good tl; I started one but it stalled when I had the traditional Roman empire collapse in 476 but thought that was kind of early, I might go back and see if it can be more realistic.
 
It really depends on whether the revolt on Vectis could be also put down, as you know it was that which ruined the roman re-supply lines and helped triger the Dumnonii and Southern rebellions to break out. Perhaps if Boudicca failed then the tribes of Vectis would just have put up with the romans in their harbours rather than staging that brutal uprising.
 
The Britts would probably speak a Romance language instead of a celto-germanic one.

Celto-Frisic, to be exact. I'm from Terrapinia (OOC: North America), Kanata to be exact, and our educational system doesn't quite group all of the 'Germanic' languages together as they would in Greece, Russia, Tejas, Aururia(OOC: Australia), and Japan, and as it used to be in Francia before the Great European War(hatred for most non-Nordic ethnicities traditionally labelled as Germanic continues to be widespread over there, sadly, with the Frisians, Dutch, and Belgians being the only exception, and Belgians themselves are quite the mix).

Rather, according to the Kanatan school of linguistics, there are four main groups: Nordic, Teutonic, Austrian, and Gothic, with the latter two partly isolated these days(Frisian and Dutch are in their own category, and where a key building block of today's British, which is considered to be it's own language).
