Gold Stater - Dubnovellaunos Two Stars

Dubnovellaunos ruled jointly over the Trinovantes and, later, the Catuvellauni — a political arrangement so unstable that Roman sources, including a fragment preserved in Augustus's Res Gestae, record him as a British king who sought refuge at the imperial court, likely displaced by Cunobelinus sometime in the early first century AD. His coinage predates that exile by decades, placing these staters among the earliest attributable issues from the Essex-based Trinovantian heartland around Camulodunum.

The Sills classification tightened attribution of this type considerably from earlier VA references, separating it from superficially similar issues on die-link and find-spot evidence.
