Although the Cornovii share their name with a Caledonian tribe (it is likely to mean 'people of the horn'), there is no reason to suspect a connection between the two.
Little is known of the Cornovii themselves, but the capital of their civitas, Viroconium (Wroxeter), became one of the largest in Britain.
The Corieltauvi appear to have been a large confederation of smaller tribes.

Although living considerably further north than the more romanized tribes of the south east, the Corieltauvi minted their own coins, and had their own potters producing work of a similar quality to the southern tribes.
Although the Romans constructed forts and camps as they advanced, there is no evidence to suggest that the Corieltauvi were a troublesome tribe, and the military presence can be attributed more to the Roman's adherence to guidelines regarding warfare than the need to forcefully conquer the tribe.
Whilst these may be simply attributable to trade, there is also the possibility that members of the tribe may have fled their homes as news of Legio IX's progress reached them.

The coins belonged to the Corieltauvi tribe, who controlled most of the East Midlands and the whole of Lincolnshire in the Late Iron Age (100 BC-AD 50).
Then around 70 BC new home-produced 'British derivative' types appeared, and by about 30 BC many had inscriptions giving the name of a ruler and perhaps his title, lineage and capital.
The Corieltauvi began minting coins a few decades later than the south-eastern tribes.

 Ch.4 -Invasion and the first Romans. The Marching Camp   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The Romans invaded Britain in AD 43, they met with both violent resistance and early surrender, probably because a number of tribes believed they could profit from a permanent Roman presence in this country.
We are not sure how pro-Roman the local Corieltauvi tribe were, but many have suggested that they may have been one of those tribes which were 'Roman friendly'.
Even if the Romans faced little resistance in Lincolnshire, it did not stop them from imposing a large and visible presence in Ancaster, probably within the first few years after the conquest.

 Norwich Moot essay on Celtic Gods of East Anglia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
To clarify the first of these points then, I will define 'East Anglia' as Norfolk, Suffolk, Northern Essex and Eastern Cambridgeshire.
During the later part of the Celtic period, from the Roman arrival to the coming of the Saxons, this area was occupied by the Iceni, in Norfolk and North Suffolk; the Trinovantes, to the south; the Coritani, or more properly Corieltauvi, in Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire; and the Catuvelauni to their south.
A number of cultural differences existed between these tribes, most notably the continental Belgic influences in the southern tribes, allowing archaeologists to define their territories.

 Britannia Celtic Gods: Nemetona, Goddess of the Sacred Grove
More often than not, she was depicted with her divine consort, the Roman Mars, who was given various Celtic names depending on location.
Amongst the Corieltauvi of Lincolnshire, he was Mars Rigonemetis ('King of the Sacred Grove'), but elsewhere he was Mars Loucetius ('the Shining One').
This latter husband probably identifies Nemetona with another floral goddess, Blodeuwedd, the flower-maiden, wife of the Welsh God of Light, Lleu Llaw Gyffes.
