Figure 6.5. The distribution of North-Eastern and East Anglian boar/horse types (the smaller symbols represent the distribution of all coins in each regional series)
While the nature of the social contacts revealed by coin distributions is as yet unclear, they might perhaps attest the kinds of movements of people proposed by Hill (Hill 2007, 22–24). He has suggested that people were likely to have been regularly moving between different territories to exploit specialist or seasonal resources, or for reasons of exchange, marriage or for religious and social gatherings. If this was the case it should not surprise us if significant motifs or symbols were valued in two neighbouring territories or if craftsmen and artistic ideas moved between them. Another look at Figure 6.5 suggests that the territories through which the two boar/horse coinages circulated are likely to have been linked rather than separated by the Wash. Once we consider the likely Iron Age coastlines of this area, the Wash would have formed the most direct communication route between the two areas. In this light, the distribution of coins with the boar image look rather more closely related. Whatever the nature of the links behind the appearance of boar/horse designs on these two regional series, they should be seen as no less significant than the relationship between regional styles, around which complex political narratives have been constructed.
