Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
An account of the Icenian coinage includes much previously unpublished information. Though the Iceni figure largely in 1st century history, they left little material evidence apart from the coins which, however, provide an exceptionally complete record. Most of the coins known come from 12 recorded hoards (one of gold, the rest silver) which, with the isolated finds are concentrated in the Norwich and Breckland areas. The series began with gold staters of c 10 BC and continued with the staters of the Freckenham hoard. The supply of gold then evidently ran out, for whatever reason, well before the Conquest. Three silver types - Boar-Horse, Face-Horse and Pattern-Horse - presumably represent three Icenian sub-tribes or pagi, though with insufficient evidence to suggest territories. The fourth silver type is Romanised. Problems of dating are considered; it seems clear that the Iceni, as Roman allies, were allowed to continue minting after the Conquest, and that the hoards date to the Boudiccan revolt. The ultimate use of damaged dies testifies to Boudicca's urgent need of war supplies. Appendices provide further details. | ||||||
