 Cunobelinus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
From numismatic evidence Cunobelinus appears to have taken power around AD 9, minting coins from both Camulodunum (Colchester, capital of the Trinovantes) and Verulamium (St Albans, capital of the Catuvellauni).
Some of the Verulamium coins name him as the son of Tasciovanus, a previous king of the Catuvellauni; unlike his father's, his coins name no co-rulers.
However his earliest issues are from Camulodunum, indicating that he took power there first, and some have a palm or laurel wreath design, a motif borrowed from the Romans indicating a military victory.

Tasciovanus came from the north-east of Cassivellaunus’ area.
He may have been succeeded by Dubnovellaunus, a chieftain who is thought to have ruled over an area of north-east Kent before being ousted by Eppillus, a son of Commius, some time around AD 1.
The rule of Dubnovellaunus was shortlived; he was removed within a decade by Cunobelin, a self-declared son of Tasciovanus, and by the year 7 A.D., fled to seek refuge at Rome.

The lettering TASCIA (Tasciovanus) can be seen, and the reverse has a bull with lowered head facing left, similar to the Roman silver coin of Augustus.

Tasciovanus decided it was best to have a relative ruling over the Trinovantes, so he appointed Cunobelinus to rule over them.

His father appears to have been Tasciovanus, here Teuhant, but the most remarkable fact is that this name is not recorded in any extant classical source except coins unearthed by archaeologists.
Note that these changes are phonetic, that is, caused by oral transmission, so either these pedigrees were not written down until after the change or the spelling has been updated.
As remarkable as the occurrence of a record of Tasciovanus in a native British record a millennium after the fact is, it is not quite an isolated incident.

The next identifiable ruler of the Catuvellauni was Tasciovanus who took the throne around 20BC, though whether he was the son or grandson of Cassivellaunus is unknown.
Cassivellaunus may mean 'Vellaunus of the Cassi', when translated (His tribe was the Cassi and his name was Vellaunus.) The name given to the newly unified tribe gathered under his command could mean 'the Followers, or Smiters, of Vellaunus'.

 Cadfan Descendants Report
Whether or not Tasciovanus is a son or nephew of CASWALLON is not certain, but he was clearly operating from a similar power base to his predecessor.
Tasciovanus made incursions into the territories of the Atrebates and the Cantii and established the Catuvellauni as the primary tribe of south-east Britain.
It is possible that he was a son of TASCIOVANUS who ruled jointly with his father in his last years and then briefly succeeded him, or he may have been a usurper who took over the Catuvellaunian lordship during the rise to power of CUNOBELIN.

He was ruler of the tribe from circa 20 B.C. He was also the first to renew hostilities towards the Trinovantes, flouting the long-standing agreement between Caesar and his own grandfather Cassivellaunus.

 Roman invasion of British
By about AD 10, Tasciovanus had been succeeded by Cunobelin, the most successful of all the Celtic Kings of pre-Roman Britain.
Styled as the son of Tasciovanus on some of his coins, Cunobelin appears to have ruled over the unified territories of the Trinovantes and Catuvellauni.
10 BC Tasciovanus of the Catuvellauni issued coins from Camulodunum, suggesting that he conquered the Trinovantes, but he was soon forced to withdraw, perhaps as a result of pressure from the Romans, as his later coins no longer bear the mark "Rex", and Addedomarus was restored.
