Later Iron Age Coinage in Britain: Reconstructing Insular Social Structures and Endogenous Aspects

Principal investigator: Marta Fanello
Level: PhD level research

At present I am a full-time Postgraduate student at the University of Leicester. The aim of my project is to examine the Later Iron Age coinage of Britain in order to reconstruct endogenous characters of the various communities/areas throughout Britain. By choice of sample locations, whose nature is archaeologically defined, I will investigate differences in production, distribution, iconography, deposition of coins as a means to identify features of the social structure, different forms of power/hierarchy and representation of authority, with particular attention at the attitude to change and to reception of continental/Classical influences. One of the aims of my research is to contribute to a wider comprehension of the actual issue of "Celticity" of the Iron Age communities of Britain. The PAS is an essential tool which enables numismatic data to be compared and connected.
