Silver Unit - Ale Scavo Alii Scavo

The Iceni occupied what is now Norfolk and parts of Suffolk, and their coinage — produced in the decades immediately before the Roman conquest of 43 AD — reflects a tribe still functioning as an independent political unit with control over local silver supplies. The "Ale Scavo Alii Scavo" inscription type is among the named-authority issues that numismatists have long debated: whether these names represent rulers, moneyers, or ritual formulae remains unresolved.

ABC 1705 sits in a tight cluster of related inscribed types that appear only in the final pre-conquest phase of Iceni production.
