1/4 Stater - Dubnovellaunos Pentagram

Dubnovellaunos ruled across what is now Kent and Essex in the late 1st century BC, a period when Kentish chieftains were actively cultivating trade ties with the Roman world. His name appears on coins in a Romanized form — a pointed concession to Mediterranean diplomatic convention that distinguishes his issues from the anonymous tribal coinage that preceded them. The named coinage of southeastern Britain in this period is closely tied to the political turbulence following Caesar's expeditions, with tribal leaders positioning themselves carefully between Roman influence and older Gaulish networks.
