Which modern English county did the Iceni inhabit?
"allusion to Prasutagus” (Mossop and Allen 258). Sir Thomas Browne, the first English archaeological writer, said of the Roman occupation, Boudica and Iceni coins: The Icknield Way, an ancient trackway linking East Anglia to the Chilterns, may be named after the Iceni. John A. Davies and Tony Gregory conducted archaeological surveys of Roman coins that appeared during the period of Roman occupation of Norfolk. Their study showed that the bulk of the coins circulating before AD 60 was Icenian rather than Roman. They speculated that Roman coins were not adapted into the Iceni area until after AD 60.

In his 1658 treatise ""Hydriotaphia, or Urn Burials"", the English polymath Thomas Browne claims that the Iceni got their name from the Iken, the old name for the River Ouse, where the Iceni were said to have originated. Robert Henry (1771) refers to a suggested naming from the Brittonic word Ychen meaning oxen. Ychen is still used in modern Welsh. Icenian coins dating from the 1st century AD use the spelling ECEN: another article by D. F. Allen titled “The Coins of the Iceni,” discusses the difference between coins"
