 Tribe of the Coritani / Corieltauvi
The Coritani were, like their Brigantes
neighbours to the north, a collection of smaller tribes, and were centred on
a swathe of territory stretching from modern Leicestershire, though Nottinghamshire
to Lincolnshire and perhaps including lower South Yorkshire, with Leicester and
Old Sleaford their main bases.
An interesting feature of Coritani coinage in the first century is that
it was regularly struck by two rulers at once, and at one time by three,
apparently colleagues.
