History:
Antedi – perhaps Antedios, became leader
of the Iceni c.AD25. He took no active part
in the opposition to the Roman invasion of
AD43 and was subsequently made a client of
Rome. He produced his first coins marked ANTED
in commemoration of this honour. It is probable
that Antedi was involved in the Icenian War
of AD47 in which he must have lost his life
by the end of it, as his name is not mentioned
again after this time.
