Question 2

Instructions: Please use this outline map of Europe to answer the question(s).  
-Locate and label three areas that experienced anti-Roman revolts during the Pax Romana.

Accepted Answer

As an AI, I don't have the ability to view images or maps, including the outline map of Europe you've mentioned. However, I can provide you with information on three areas in Europe that experienced significant anti-Roman revolts during the Pax Romana, which you can then locate and label on your map.

1. **Judea (The Jewish Revolt)**: One of the most famous revolts against the Roman Empire during the Pax Romana was the Jewish Revolt, which took place in the Roman province of Judea. The First Jewish–Roman War (66–73 CE) was a major rebellion by the Jews of Judea, which led to the destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple in 70 CE.

2. **Germania (The Revolt of Arminius)**: In the Roman province of Germania, the most notable revolt was led by Arminius, a chieftain of the Germanic Cherusci tribe. In 9 CE, Arminius led a coalition of Germanic tribes to victory against three Roman legions in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. This defeat had a lasting impact on the Roman Empire's expansion into Germanic territories east of the Rhine River.

3. **Britannia (Boudica's Revolt)**: In the Roman province of Britannia (modern-day Britain), a significant revolt occurred in 60/61 CE, led by Boudica, the queen of the Iceni tribe. Boudica's forces managed to destroy the Roman cities of Camulodunum (Colchester), Londinium (London), and Verulamium (St Albans), causing extensive damage and loss of life before being defeated by the Roman army.

To label these areas on your map, you would find Judea in the eastern Mediterranean region, corresponding to parts of modern-day Israel and Palestine. Germania would be located northeast of the Rhine River, in what is now Germany. Britannia would be the large island to the northwest of mainland Europe, corresponding to modern-day England and Wales.
