Silver Unit Cotswold Stars / Comux Head Type

The Dobunni occupied a territory centered on what is now Gloucestershire, with their probable administrative hub near Bagendon — a substantial oppida complex that shows evidence of proto-urban organization in the decades immediately before the Claudian invasion of 43 AD. This coin falls within the late phase of Dobunni silver coinage, when the tribe was navigating increasingly tense relationships with neighboring groups and, eventually, Roman commercial networks pushing in from the southeast. The Comux name has been interpreted as a ruler or magistrate, though whether this reflects a dynastic leader or a civic title remains unresolved among Iron Age specialists.
