Year 61 (LXI) was a common year starting on Thursday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Turpilianus and Caesennius (or, less frequently, year 814 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 61 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.

Publius Petronius Turpilianus and Lucius Caesennius Paetus become Roman consuls.
The Druidic stronghold of Anglesey in north Wales is attacked and destroyed by Suetonius Paulinus (Tacitus, Annals xiv 30).
Verulamium (St Alban) is sacked and burnt by the Britons. Roman citizens are molested and killed.
Boudica, Queen of the Iceni, leads a Celtic revolt in Britain. She is defeated in the Battle of Watling Street by a Roman wedge formation. According to the First Century Roman historian Tacitus, she died by poisoning herself so she would not be enslaved by the Roman governor, Suetonius Paulinus. Cassius Dio, on the other hand, tells an alternative version of Boudica's death, simply saying that she "fell sick and died."
After defeating the Iceni, the Romans continue the process of Romanizing Britain. They create Roman-style cities, install a Roman administration and build roads.
Galba becomes governor of Hispania Tarraconensis.
