British Celts, Iceni (East Anglia), Antedios, c. 10 - 30 A.D.
|Celtic| |&| |Tribal|, |British| |Celts,| |Iceni| |(East| |Anglia),| |Antedios,| |c.| |10| |-| |30| |A.D.|, The obverse and reverse of this type are derived from the portrait of Apollo obverse and the chariot reverse on the gold staters of Philip of Macedon. On 22 Nov 1849, when he was 26 years old, Sir John Evans presented a diagram to the Royal Numismatic Society tracing the evolution of ancient British coins from the Macedonian prototype to the "Galulish Philippus" to this and other types. The evolution of the reverse reverse was less dramatic. On the obverse, the change was radical. The prototype can only be recognized by tracing the increasing abstraction from one type to the next, as Evans did. The lines and rows of pellets perpendicular to the double crescent emblem, evolved from Apollo's laurel wreath.
