| Aanvullende informatie |
The Iceni occupied what is now Norfolk and Suffolk, and remained largely autonomous under Roman-friendly client arrangements until Prasutagus died around 60 AD — but this coinage predates that crisis by nearly a century. These fractional silver units circulated in a pre-Roman tribal economy where coinage functioned as much for gift exchange and elite display as for everyday transaction. The "Spiky Spiral" type is among several closely related Iceni silver abstractions catalogued by Talbot, distinguished by die-cutting idiosyncrasies rather than issuing authority marks.
