Judging from the distribution of his universally elusive coins, Dumnocoveros appears to have been a chieftan of the northern part of the Corieltauvi shortly before and during the Claudian annexation of southern Britain, say perhaps 30-45 AD. The person called Volisios on the obverse was possibly the father of Dumnocoveros, in the same way that he was apparently the father of Dumnovellaunos and Cartivellaunos. The above silver unit of Dumnocoveros is excessively rare - there is but one in the British Museum - and is in exceptionally attractive condition, with a complete inscription.
