Bronze Unit - Cunobelin Cunobelinus Victory Horseman

Cunobelin ruled from Camulodunum — modern Colchester — for roughly four decades, longer than any other pre-Roman British king, and was powerful enough that Shakespeare borrowed his name for Cymbeline. His coins circulated across a territory stretching from the Thames estuary well into the midlands, and the sheer volume of his bronze issues reflects a monetised economy unusual in Iron Age Britain. The Victory and horseman types are associated with the later phase of his reign, when Roman cultural influence on British aristocratic coinage was at its most direct.
