Iceni Celtic Coins For Sale

The Iceni were centered in Norfolk, but also occupied parts of Suffolk and Cambridgeshire after the revolt under Boudicca. Their capital was Venta Icenorvm, a small walled town, disadvantaged by not being sited on a river, and located in Caister St. Edmund, Norfolk. The Iceni operated a monarchic society, and their territory was separated from the Coritani tribal lands in the west by uninhabited fenland. Coin legends were introduced around the beginning of the millennia. The continuation of the coinage after the invasion by Rome is attested by the coins of King Prasutagus.
