M.W.C. Hassall, 'Batavians and the Roman conquest of Britain', Britannia i (1970, 131-6), links the "Keltoi" who according to Dio crossed the Medway and later the Thames in the face of strong enemy opposition during the invasion of 43 with the Batavians because Tacitus later refers to their "long" service in Britain.
