Certaines analyses semblent montrer que le titre d’argent s’est abaissé pour tomber au-dessous de 40% d’argent dans certains cas. Les monnaies ne sont plus alors en argent, mais en billon.

Historical background


ICENI - ICENIAN

(1st century BC)

The Iceni occupied a territory which covers Norfolk and part of Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. Coinage seems to begin in the second half of the 1st century BC. We have little information on the Iceni before Claudius' conquest of Britain in 43. Tacitus (An. XII, 31; XIV, 31). Ptolemy (G. II, 3).
