guy Posted November 18, 2022 Report Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) A Celtic ring, possibly of Iceni origin, went up for auction: Quote A 2,000-year-old gold ring believed to have been worn by a Celtic ruler could go on display in York after being sold at auction for £36,000. The Iron Age ring was unearthed in a field in North Yorkshire in the 1990s. Dating back to about 100BC, it was thought to have been worn by a chieftain of the Corieltauvi tribe, which ruled parts of what are now the Midlands and Yorkshire before the Roman invasion. The ring's distinctive abstract design has been linked to the Iceni tribe, which once ruled a large part of modern day East Anglia. It is thought it could have ended up in what is now Yorkshire as part of a treaty between feuding tribes. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-63660018 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-63590575 Edited November 18, 2022 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
