That does not fit what Ptolemy tells us:
Quote:then the Atrebati and their town Caleva
Next to these, but farther eastward, are the Canti among whom are the towns:Londinium
There is no room for the Catuvellauni south of the Thames.
Looking at the evidence from the distribution of Celtic coins, by 43AD Catuvellauni currency was in use west of London and south of the River Thames. Things changed rapidly after Caesar left.
