John Talbot completed his DPhil in 2016 at Oxford. He spent most of his career working on the rescue of companies which were in financial difficulty and has also led many large investigations into financial irregularities. His original interest in British Late Iron Age coinage was stimulated by the abstracted imagery seen on the early Staters of various regions. When he started to study the coinage of the Iceni he initially avoided existing literature and endeavored to use the techniques he had developed in major financial investigations to form his own opinions about the organization and purpose of the coinage. He has published a number of papers related to Icenian coinage. Author location: Cambridge
