Addedomarus, ruler of the Trinovantes in the late 1st century BC, with territories on the north side of the Thames estuary. The Trinovantes were bordered to the north by the Iceni, and to the west by the Catuvellauni.
His name is known only from his inscribed coins. He was the first king to produce inscribed coins north of the Thames, perhaps as early as 35 BC, although some estimates are as late as 15 BC. He seems to have moved the Trinovantian capital from Braughing in Hertfordshire to Camulodunum. For a brief period (ca. 15-10 BC) Tasciovanus of the Catuvellauni issued coins from Camulodunum. Addedomarus then appears to have regained power and reigned until 10-5 BC when he was succeeded by Dubnovellaunus.
