| Additional information |
Cunobelinus ruled from Camulodunum — modern Colchester — for roughly four decades, long enough that Shakespeare eventually borrowed his name for Cymbeline. This stater belongs to his "Wild" series, so called by collectors to distinguish the increasingly abstracted output of his later issues from the more controlled early types. The Central Stalk variety is defined by a specific arrangement of the reverse field elements and is catalogued discretely by Sills precisely because Celtic die studies have demonstrated these are not random stylistic drift but deliberate, identifiable production groups.
Cunobelinus was the dominant political force in southeast Britain immediately before the Claudian invasion of 43 AD.
