Additional information

The Catuvellauni, under Cunobelin, absorbed the Trinovantes sometime around the turn of the first century AD, creating a joint political entity that struck coinage across multiple denominations and types. The "Dias" attribution places this unit within a specific sub-series identified by scholars working from findspot clusters concentrated around Camulodunum — modern Colchester — which served as the tribal capital and primary mint site. Small bronzes of this weight class circulated at the lowest transactional level, and metal detector recovery remains the dominant source for surviving examples, most found in Essex and Hertfordshire.
