The “Cymbeline” of Shakespeare, a son of Tasciovanus and brother
of Epaticcus, and during whose reign the birth of our Saviour took
place, struck a considerable variety of coins in all the metals. He
had Camulodunum (Colchester) for his capital and place of mintage.
Of his sons Togodumnos and Caractacus no coins are known. The coins
of Cunobeline are so numerous and varied that it is not necessary to
summarize their types. The following are examples of the inscriptions:--
