Dubnovellaunus, (World ruler), was considered to be the most potent king of Kent before Cunobelinus. He was the first king to inscribe his name on Kentish coins and was almost certainly the same Dubnovellaunos who ruled in Essex at the same time. He may also have been the same Dubnovellaunus who sent supplications to Augustus who was emperor in Rome at this time.
When Dubnovellaunus died there was a sharp decline in Cantian power and independence.
