Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The Snettisham torcs were probably, the Ipswich ones possibly, made locally, but the type went out of manufacture in early 1st century AD, and indeed the three hoards with coins (Snettisham, Weybourne, and Netherurd) should have been deposited no later than Caesar's Gallic Wars. Cessation is ascribed to the Roman world's demand for gold, and Belgic appetite for Roman luxuries, diverting British gold supplies from Icenian smiths and mints. The practice of gilding in the Late Iron Age may stem from these difficulties in obtaining gold. | ||||||
