Rh Northants. "The style and types of his coins," writes Sir John Evans, "prove him to have been a contemporary of Tasciovanus and Eppillus; and as, from the rarity of his coins and the paucity of the types, his reign would appear to have been of short duration, it is by no means improbable that he was subjugated by the former, whose coins are found over much the same district." The full name of this prince may have been Andocomius or Andocombos.

Coins of Tasciovanus have been found at High Wycombe and Stoke Mandeville; copper coins of Cunobelinus at Fenny Stratford, Fleet Marston, and Thornborough; gold coins of the same prince at Cuddington and Quainton; a coin of Addedomaros at Chalfont Park, near Slough; one bearing the mysterious inscription or, found at Creslow; a coin inscribed  in allusion probably to its having been struck at Verulamium; and various other uninscribed coins found in different parts of the county, particulars of which will be found in the topographical list at the end of this article.
