There is no reason to think that an Iceni tribesman was genetically identical to a Silurian tribesman in 43 AD. They may have been as genetically dissimilar as a modern Norfolk farmer is from a modern farmer from Glamorgan. Until large-scale work on ancient DNA is undertaken we will have no definitive answers. Projecting modern population genetics back in time is just guesswork tied up with statistics and unreliable mutational 'DNA clocks'.
