The Iceni are mentioned in Tacitus's Annals, which were written c.
CE 118 but describing the events of CE Tacitus records how in 47 the Iceni revolted against Roman occupation and once again in 60, this time led by Boudica.

 LESC - London e-Science Centre - ICENI - Architecture
The ICENI component framework is based upon two key principles: separation of concerns, and the utilisation of information at all stages of a computation.
ICENI passes this information to a scheduler (that can be plugged into the framework), which not only selects the target resources, but the optimal implementation for the user's chosen abstractions.
The ICENI architecture consists of two clearly defined areas: a private administrative domain which is used to manage the resources within an organisation, and a public computational community that exposes these resources as services so that they may be invoked by other approved entities.

It is believed that the Iceni were Gallo-Belgic in their origins and were comprised of a group of lesser federal tribes; it is also possible that they were related or derived from a tribe of similar name the Cenomani who occupied a region of Gaul.
The Iceni, Coritani and the Durotriges are all thought to have emerged as separate tribal units from other smaller septs or tribes, septs = Celtic clans.
Iceni pottery was largely of the traditional "hand made" variety, and remained so - until after the Roman invasion of AD 43, but Trinovantes pottery was of the Belgic wheel-thrown variety.

 ICENI
It is possible that the thick Latin accents of the Icenian chieftains were misunderstood by the Roman general's scribes, causing the second vowel sound to be ignored, it is equally possible, however, that Caesar deliberately slighted the tribe by misinterpreting their name.
She was the wife of king Prasutagus who was granted the kingship of the Iceni, along with clientship of Rome after the Icenian war of AD47.
The Iceni (and the Trinovantes) are fully subdued and incorporated within the Roman provincial government infrastructure, It is several decades before the Icenian peoples recover from their near-annihilation, and the tribes of south-eastern Britain never again rise against Rome.

 Romans in Britain - The Iceni tribe
This possibly incited the Iceni people who were opposed to the rule of a leader who had no powers to govern his own people, and this prompted Antedios to issue coinage inscribed with 'ECEN', representing the name of the tribe.
During the Iceni civil war of 47AD, Anted-- was believed to have been killed killed and it was the Romans under the governor's son, Marcus Ostorius who restored order.
He possibly represented a rival faction within the Iceni who were opposed in principle to the appointment by Rome of a single Client King.

 Road Tests: Trident Iceni
Of course good handling is also dependent on a stiff chassis and again the Iceni scores highly with no perceptible scuttle shake or rattles thanks to the strength provided by the high chassis sides and that central 'flying buttress'.
Apart from that, the Iceni's leather trimmed interior is a nice place to be, the new Trident made seats being very supportive and comfortable while the driving position is good with nicely positioned pedals.
In fact my overall impression of the Iceni is of a car that offers all the comfort and refinement you want for commuting to work during the week - and combines it with the performance and handling you want for amusing yourself at weekends and track days.

 Iceni (sampler)
Those camped over winter to keep the Iceni in check, and otherwise torment them, had gone out to meet the newcomers and Boudicca suspected that it was one of the newly arrived riders who carried the highest rank, because there seemed to be a lot of saluting going on and orders being made.
That the Iceni could be connected in any way with the potential loss of Insula Mona, shone a fresh light upon the importance with which Lovernios, and the Druidic Council, perceived the plight of the Iceni.
It’s the Iceni who will lead this rebellion, it’s the name of the Iceni that will be sung for generations to come and be remembered with every mention of the word ‘freedom’.

The Iceni's interior is tight yet comfortable, although getting in and out requires a degree of athleticism familiar to Elise owners.
Your feet are kicked in towards the transmission tunnel by the intrusion of the wheelarch, but after a short while you really don't notice and the inboard positioning of the pedals doesn't interfere with their operation.
A disconnected traction control combined with greasy roads meant we were appreciative of the Iceni's super-quick steering (only 2.2 turns lock-to-lock) and playful on-the-limit manners; its ultimate grip remains a mystery for the moment, though with Broadley's background we'd be surprised if it weren't on the pace.

The tribal ruler Prasutagus attempted to bequeath half of his kingdom to his family, instead of leaving it to the Roman Emperor Claudius.
Queen Boudicca (pronounced Boo-dikka), wife of Prasutagus, then led a large-scale revolt against Roman occupation, sacking Colchester, London and Verulamium before finally being defeated and killed at an unknown location somewhere in the East Midlands.
The Ravenna Cosmography, Ptolemy’s Geography and the Antonine Itinenary each record that the Roman administrative centre for Norfolk was named Venta Icenorum a settlement a mile or two from the Bronze Age Henge at Arminghall, near the village of Caister Saint Edmunds, some 5 miles south of present-day Norwich.

 Boudica - Queen of the Iceni
The two most famous were Cartimandua, queen of the Brigantes, and Boudica, queen of the Iceni.
And, when the Iceni rebelled, Cartimandua held back the tribe, the largest in Britain, from coming to their aid.
Although "Boudica" is followed by Salway and Frere, among others, it probably should be "Boudica," which means "victory" in Celtic and would be the equivalent of the modern "Victoria." In any event, "Boadicea" is incorrect.
