Bronze Unit - Cunobelin Cunobelinus Pegasus Victory Right

Cunobelin ruled from Camulodunum — modern Colchester — for roughly four decades, an unusually long and stable reign by Late Iron Age British standards. Shakespeare borrowed his name for Cymbeline, though the dramatic version bears little resemblance to the king who, by the early first century AD, controlled enough of southeastern Britain that Suetonius called him "king of the Britons." His coinage reflects genuine contact with the Roman world: imported imagery, a mint operating with something approaching systematic output, and bronze small change suggesting an economy comfortable with low-denomination exchange.
