  === Life Sketch ===
  Cunobeline, known in Latin as Cunobelinus, was a Celtic king Britain in the period immediately before the Roman conquest. He controlled a substantial part of south-eastern Britain and ruled from the late first century BC until around 42 AD and is the most famous British leader prior to the Roman occupation. His name possibly means "hound of Belenus" from the Brythonic Celtic element koun "hound" combined with the name of the god Belenus.
  
  Mentioned by the Roman historians Dio Cassius and Suetonius, who, in his life of the emperor Caligula, refers to Cunobelinus as 'Britannorum rex' (King of the Britons). Many of the coins minted during his reign have been discovered.
  
  Cunobeline's father Tasciovanus or Teuhant is assumed to have been the son or grandson of Cassivelaunus, who fought Julius Caesar during his second invasion of Britain. Shortly before or soon after succeeding his father, Cunobelinus conquered the territory of the powerful Trinovantes tribe, who occupied what is today known as Essex. Cunobelinus seems to have rose to power in around 9 AD and minted coins from both Camulodunum (Colchester) which was the capital of the Trinovantes and Verlamion (modern St Albans), capital of the Catuvellauni tribe, who inhabited the area to the north of the River Thames, the modern counties of Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire east of the River Charwell.
  
  The earliest issues of his coins are from Camulodunum, which indicates that he first took power there. He is named on the coins as the son of Tasciovanus, a previous chief of the Catuvellauni, the most powerful tribe in southern Britain. His kingdom, with its coinage and wheel pottery, had good trade links, friendly relations with the Roman empire under Tiberius and with its suggestion of the beginnings of literacy, was highly developed
