<p><em><strong>Cunobelin (c. AD 10–40)</strong></em></p>
<p><em>Shakespeare’s Cymbeline, based on his extensive bronze coinage Cunobelin appears to have been a son of Tasciovanos – where he is often styled ‘CVNOBELINI TASCIOVANI F’ (Cunobelin, Son of Tasciovanos). Writing in the early 1st century AD, the Roman historian Suetonius erroneously refers to Cunobelin as ‘Brittanorum Rex’ – King of the Britons. While this may exaggerate his power and influence somewhat, it is evident that he was viewed by the Romans as a key figure within the region. He was potentially sponsored or endorsed in some way by Rome’s first emperor, Augustus. Indeed, like Verica, many of his coins (especially those of silver and bronze) show high levels of classical influence.</em></p>
<p><em>As a ruler in his own right, Cunobelin’s first act seems to have been to finish the task begun by his father, definitively exerting control over both Camulodunon and the Trinovantian territory surrounding it. Numismatic evidence for this can be found in the prolific quantities of gold staters and quarter-staters he struck at the settlement, which depict a corn-ear flanked by the inscription ‘CAMV’. Having solidified his holdings north of the Thames, it seems that Cunobelin extended his influence into Kent. Indeed, many of his coins are found there, as are those of his probable son – Adminius (Amminus). The subsequent power vacuum caused by his death in AD 40, followed by a brief period of instability which seems to have manifested across much of eastern and southern Britain, would be quickly filled following the Claudian invasion of AD 43 – an event which changed Britain forever.</em></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Trinovantes Dubnovellaunos c.5 BC-AD 10 Gold Stater</p>
<p>Dubnovellaunos Branch</p>
<p>Obverse &#8211; Back-to-back outline crescents at centre of straight wreath with very fine leaves between three parallel lines and ending in ringed pellets. Ringed pellets either side and parallel grooves either side of those.</p>
<p>Reverse &#8211; Naturalistic, leaping horse left with pellet mane, sharply-angled front legs and extended rear legs. Leafy, arched branch below. Ringed pellet above and two below. Pellet in front and sometimes above (either side of ringed pellet), below, under the tail, over the tail, behind the rear leg, and sometimes a pellet triad behind or under the tail. Inscription around.</p>
<div id="fiche_comments" class="ck-content">
<p>A beautiful coin in hand, reverse struck high so only the very beginning of the inscription is showing but a full horse and decoration is a pleasing compromise. Perfect obverse.</p>
<p>ABC2392, S207; 17mm, 5.35g</p>
<p>This coin comes with a rough find area provenance.</p>
<p>Van Arsdell Classification: Trinovantian L, Earlier Dynastic Issues, Dubnovellaunus in Essex, <a href="https://vanarsdellcelticcoinageofbritain.com/plates-catalog-listings_ccb3/plate_68_ccb3.html#:~:text=Dubnovellaunus%20in%20Essex%C2%A0%C2%A0%C2%A0%C2%A0Gold%20Coins" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer ugc">Gold Coins</a>.<br />
VA 1655 &#8211; 09: DVBNOVIILLA, pellet above tail (not below or behind rear leg). However, the number and position of pellets varies from die to die.</p>
<p>Rainer Kretz, “<a href="https://www.britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital%20BNJ/pdfs/2008_BNJ_78_2.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer ugc"><i>The Trinovantian staters of Dubnovellaunos</i></a>”, BNJ 78, 2008:<br />
Kretz Type D (Letter II type). Identifiable by the letters II in DVBNOVIILLA(VNVS) and a more elegant, Romanised horse, D1-5.</p>
<p>Sills DK 538 (10 obverse, 12 reverse dies): North Thames Coinage; Type: Dubnovellaunos; Staters: Class 2b &#8211; II Type. The same obverse as the A Type (<a href="https://en.numista.com/484060" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer ugc">Sills 537</a>). The reverse differs in the spelling, with II replacing E, and the B is rendered as a B and not an R (the engraver using R seems to have moved to the Cantii). The one die with DVBNOVELLAVN spelling links to the DVBNOVIILLAVN reverses.</p>
<p>Sills places bronze unit Hairy (<a href="https://en.numista.com/123999" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer ugc">ABC 2407</a>) with later Dubnovellaunos gold such as II Type because the horse is naturalistic rather than annulate. He also puts Headband bronze (<a href="https://en.numista.com/461759" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer ugc">ABC 2404</a>), with the DVBNOVIILL spelling, at this time. Centre Parting (<a href="https://en.numista.com/461763" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer ugc">ABC 2413</a>) and Corded (<a href="https://en.numista.com/461764" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer ugc">ABC 2416</a>) are not certainly Dubnovellaunos.</p>
<p>Sills chronology: Gallo-Belgic Ca &#8211; British G (Early Clacton) / Aa Westerham &#8211; British La (Whaddon Chase) &#8211; British Lb (Westbury) &#8211; Addedomaros &#8211; <strong>Dubnovellaunos </strong>&#8211; Tasciovanos.</p>
<p>Dubnovellaunos was almost beyond doubt king of both the Trinovantes and Cantii. Around 7, at the end of his reign, he and <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?p=1&amp;ru=5363" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer ugc">Tincomarus</a> of the Atrebates appeared in the res gestae as supplicants to <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?p=1&amp;ru=61" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer ugc">Augustus</a>, but it is not known whether that was as king of the Trnovantes or Cantii at the time.</p>
</div>
<p><a href="https://vimeo.com/1198374141?share=copy&amp;fl=sv&amp;fe=ci" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>View Video Here</strong></a></p>
<p><strong><em>DUBNOVELLAUNOS  5 BC- AD 10: </em></strong><em>Relatively little is known about Dubnovellaunos, or ‘world ruler’. Was he king in Essex and if so was he the same person who was also king in Kent. Was he a Cantian king who conquered the Trinovantes or was he simply a ruler of the Canti who was already in control of Essex.  He may have been a brother of Tasciovanos who ruled at first in Canterbury before moving to Colchester.  It is thought that he was a Cantian king who at some stage seized control of the southern part of the Trinovantian kingdom before being displaced by Eppillus in Kent and then by Cunobelinus in Essex. If he did control both areas it is likely to have been for only a few years.</em></p>

It has been estimated from a study of known dies that around one million of his gold corn ear staters were produced (although most will have been melted down for proceeding coinage) and his main centre and mint was at Camulodunum (Colchester).</p>

<p><em><strong>Cunobelin (c. AD 10–40)</strong></em></p>
<p><em>Shakespeare’s Cymbeline, based on his extensive bronze coinage Cunobelin appears to have been a son of Tasciovanos – where he is often styled ‘CVNOBELINI TASCIOVANI F’ (Cunobelin, Son of Tasciovanos). Writing in the early 1st century AD, the Roman historian Suetonius erroneously refers to Cunobelin as ‘Brittanorum Rex’ – King of the Britons. While this may exaggerate his power and influence somewhat, it is evident that he was viewed by the Romans as a key figure within the region. He was potentially sponsored or endorsed in some way by Rome’s first emperor, Augustus. Indeed, like Verica, many of his coins (especially those of silver and bronze) show high levels of classical influence.</em></p>
<p><em>As a ruler in his own right, Cunobelin’s first act seems to have been to finish the task begun by his father, definitively exerting control over both Camulodunon and the Trinovantian territory surrounding it. Numismatic evidence for this can be found in the prolific quantities of gold staters and quarter-staters he struck at the settlement, which depict a corn-ear flanked by the inscription ‘CAMV’. Having solidified his holdings north of the Thames, it seems that Cunobelin extended his influence into Kent. Indeed, many of his coins are found there, as are those of his probable son – Adminius (Amminus). The subsequent power vacuum caused by his death in AD 40, followed by a brief period of instability which seems to have manifested across much of eastern and southern Britain, would be quickly filled following the Claudian invasion of AD 43 – an event which changed Britain forever.</em></p>

<p><em><strong>Eastern</strong></em></p>
<p><em>There are 33 early uninscribed types, found mainly in the eastern part of the North Thames region, especially Essex, which can’t comfortably be attributed either to the Trinovantes of the Catuvellauni. They are mostly extremely rare types – only seven were published by Van Arsdell, and they don’t seem to slot into any of the principle North Thames series. These may be variants struck by the Trinovantes or Catuvellauni or they could have been struck by smaller sub-tribes.</em></p>

<p>A wonderful example, dark green surfaces of a quality rarely seen these days. Good detail from a bold strike and little wear evident.</p>
<p>Sills: The Lion Horseman and Lion Box have a similar lettering style. The Lion Box is abbreviated to DV like the Serpent Griffin unit and the animals on both have fully extended front legs like the Serpent and Pentagram gold. They are therefore likely late issues. The Lion Horseman holds a carnyx, later used on Eppilus&#8217;s Carnyx silver, fitting with it being later. Two of four findspots are north of the Thames, and so they may be issues of Dubnovellaunos in Essex (Trinovantes).</p>

<p><em><strong>Dubnovellaunos (25 BC – AD 5/10?)</strong></em></p>
<p><em>Based on current evidence, it seems to be the case that Dubnovellaunos is the earliest individual to be named on Kentish coinage of the Late Iron Age. It has been suggested that he was the ‘Dumnobellaunos’ named in the 32nd passage of Augustus’ Res Gestae, although this is not certain. Other individuals named ‘Dumnovellaunos’ are present in the Late Iron Age coin series from other regions of Britain (e.g., the north-east), and indeed it may be a completely different individually totally unconnected with the issuance of these coins.</em></p>
<p><em>‘The following kings sought refuge with me as suppliants…Dumnobellaunus and Tincommius, kings of the Britons….’</em></p>
<p><em> It has been hotly debated as to whether the Dubnovellaunos issuing coinage in Kent is the same as that who produced a relatively restricted, trimetallic series of coins whose distribution centres on Essex. As Kent and Essex share a land border, it is perfectly plausible from a geographic perspective to suggest that Dubnovellaunos may well have been a ruler in Kent who chose to extend his territory and influence northwards. It is certainly true that that the Kentish series of coins struck in his name are much more extensive than those found in Essex, which might suggest an origin in the former rather than the latter. Nevertheless, whatever his affiliation, Dubnovellaunos was out of the picture soon after the commencement of the 1st century AD – his territories potentially absorbed by Eppilus of the Atrebates and the much better-known Cunobelin of the Catavellaunii.</em></p>
<p><em>Coins of Dubnovellaunos struck in Kent are the most extensive of the inscribed series to be struck there, including some of the most iconic inscribed silver units in the entire Late Iron Age corpus. These include types such as the ‘Dubnovellaunos Pegasus’ (ABC 315/BMC 2443–44) and ‘Dubnovellaunos Metalworker’ (ABC 324/BMC 2502–3).</em></p>
