| Additional information |
The Catuvellauni and Trinovantes occupied a complicated political relationship in the decades surrounding the Roman conquest — the former having absorbed the latter under Cunobelin's father Tasciovanus, then Cunobelin himself. Coins attributed to this transitional tribal grouping are difficult to assign with confidence to a single ruler or mint site, and "Dias" remains a figure whose identity is debated: possibly a moneyer, possibly a sub-king, almost certainly not the issuing authority in any sovereign sense.
Van Arsdell 1879 is among the scarcer attributions in the late Celtic British sequence.
