[edit] Extending and Advancing this Article

I would like to continue the work that has been done on this article and would like help from those who started and contributed to its present incarnation. I have access to a large variety of primary source documents, and would like to organize the article in a more coherent manner. Perhaps starting with their origin as a Brythonic tribe, their own development, history and archaeological ethnography (if sources are available) so that we need not rely solely on Tacitus and Ptolemy. I will post information on the Iceni in the literature that may be relevant as I find it, and would like your help. Thank you. L Hamm 04:37, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Horses

The previous edit suggested that, because horses appear on Icenian coins, that the horse was of particular significance to them. This is unsupportably. Early Celtic coins virtually all had horses on them, because they were adapted from a Greek stater with a chariot and horses on one side and the head of Apollo on the other. --Nicknack009 07:29, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thetford

Wasn't Thetford their capital?
