Chris Rudd (ABC) 'Mildenhall Mystery'.
Talbot Mildenhall (produced with Plouviez). A small issue not struck at one of the major mints. This includes Mildenhall, Cani Duro, Antedi Sia, Ali Sca, Esv Prasto and Ece A (Ecen Stepping Horse). The use of the name ‘Mildenhall’ for the quarter (ABC 1486 and ABC 1489) and unit is based on style but there is no geographical link and they are likely not a denominational group. There is similarity to Saham Toney from Mint C and the back-to-back crescents place them in the denominational periods.
Talbot Chronology: Gallo-Belgic E/Ingoldisthorpe - Early Local Period I (55BC-35BC) - Early Local Period II (35BC-15BC) - Denominational Period I (15BC-5: Snettisham - Plouviez - Irstead - Early Boar Horse) - Denominational Period II (5-25: Boar Horse B - Boar Horse C) - Denominational Period III (25-45).
