Bronze Unit - Rues Rues Griffin

The Catuvellauni under Cunobelin — the historical figure behind Shakespeare's Cymbeline — controlled much of southeastern Britain in this period, having absorbed the Trinovantes after displacing their leadership at Camulodunum (modern Colchester). This small bronze circulated within that consolidating power base, likely serving local market exchange rather than tribute or prestige functions. The ABC 2757 classification places it within a tightly defined typological group; Van Arsdell's sequencing suggests production concentrated in the years immediately following Cunobelin's assumption of control over Trinovantian territory.
