摘要：
This article analyzes how Tacitus and Dio use the concept of exemplarity in their narratives of Boudica's revolt in order to present the queen as a complex model of female leadership. Tacitus' Boudica assimilates herself to positive Roman models from Livy; Dio's Boudica separates herself from Herodotean anti-models, as well as from the imperial women of Rome. In her condemnation of Nero, Dio's Boudica criticizes the populace for succumbing to the influence of a negative model of leadership. Exempla contribute to each author's characterization of Boudica; a comparative reading reveals significant differences in each author's position on the efficacy of exempla in historiography.
