| Additional information |
Dubnovellaunus ruled the Trinovantes from their capital at Camulodunum — modern Colchester — during a period when Caesar's expeditions a generation earlier had fundamentally altered the political calculus of southeastern Britain. Whether he is the same Dubnovellaunus who later appears on coins of the Cantii remains debated; the overlap in types and territory suggests either movement between kingdoms or a deliberate dynastic claim, but no consensus has held.
His name appears on only a handful of stater types, making attributed examples relatively scarce against the broader mass of anonymous Trinovantian gold.
