| Additional information |
Caratacus — son of Cunobelinus, the king Shakespeare later immortalized as Cymbeline — issued coins during the period of active resistance to the Claudian invasion of 43 AD. He had fled west after the fall of Camulodunum, rallying British tribes against Rome until his capture in 51 AD and subsequent pardon by Claudius, who found him more useful alive as a trophy of clemency than dead as a martyr. Minims of this type represent the tail end of functioning tribal coin production in the southeast; Roman monetary infrastructure was already displacing native issues within months of the landing.
