New research reported by Popular Science argues that Verica, a famed Iron Age ruler in Britain long assumed to have been a king, was in fact a woman. The claim challenges centuries of assumptions about the identity and gender of one of pre-Roman Britain's best-known figures, and the finding is circulating among science and history readers online.
Why now: The surprising reinterpretation of a well-known historical figure's gender is drawing attention from science and history audiences.
