| Additional information |
Cunobelin ruled from Camulodunum — modern Colchester — for roughly four decades, long enough that Shakespeare later borrowed his name for Cymbeline. His coinage is unusually abundant by Iron Age British standards, reflecting genuine economic activity across the southeast rather than purely ritual or gift exchange. The quarter stater denomination circulated as functional small change within a monetized economy that Rome would absorb wholesale within months of Claudius's invasion in 43 AD.
The "Plastic Cam Cun" designation refers to the specific die pairing catalogued under this reference cluster, distinguished within a large and typologically complex series.
