Bronze Unit - Dubnovellaunos Lion Horseman

Dubnovellaunos is one of the few Cantian rulers whose name appears on coinage, placing him in the small group of late Iron Age British kings whose political authority was sufficiently consolidated to warrant named issues. He is likely the same Dubnovellaunos mentioned in Augustus's Res Gestae as a British king who sent envoys — or possibly sought refuge — at the Roman court, suggesting a reign played out against the mounting pressure of Roman influence across the Channel.

The ABC 354 attribution places this within the typological sequence developed by Van Arsdell and refined by Cottam et al., distinguishing Cantian output from the overlapping coinages of the Trinovantes, with whom Dubnovellaunos may have had dynastic ties.
