Silver Unit - Dubnovellaunos V-Sign

Dubnovellaunos ruled the Trinovantes from their capital at Camulodunum — modern Colchester — during a period when Caesar's expeditions were a living memory and Roman commercial influence was already reshaping elite exchange networks across southeastern Britain. His coins are among the earliest in Britain to show evidence of that contact, not through imitation of Roman types but through the selective adaptation of abstract motifs that suggest exposure to Mediterranean coinage without direct copying. Whether Dubnovellaunos is the same ruler later named on coins struck jointly with the Cantii remains debated among specialists.
