Additional information

The Iceni occupied what is now Norfolk and northern Suffolk, and maintained a degree of autonomy under Roman-friendly client arrangements until the death of Prasutagus in 60 AD triggered the catastrophic revolt of Boudicca. These silver units were struck well before that rupture, during a period when Icenian tribal coinage was developing its own distinct regional character increasingly removed from the Gallo-Belgic prototypes that originally inspired it. The "Punk Head" designation is a modern typological label, not a tribal one.
