  Coritani - Definition, explanation
The Coritani, or Corieltauvi, were one of the Celtic tribes living in the British Islands, previous to the Roman invasion of Britain.
Evidence suggest that the Coritani were a federation resultant from the amalgamation of several peoples living the in the East Midlands.
For this reason, the Coritani did not resist Roman occupation and became quickly Romanised after the conquest of their capital in 44.

 CORITANI
What is reasonably certain however, is that the Coritani maintained a number of septs, each with their own independent local government structure, with groups of settlements being ruled by a small number of leaders who minted and issued coin collectively.
The coin finds of the Coritani were at first, erroneously attributed to the Brigantes, but later studies of the distribution pattern clearly showed that these coins should be assigned to the Coritani.
Later, the Coritani came to be ruled by a single, paramount leader, who issued coin inscribed with his name first, followed by the name of a subservient leader, who ruled over a part of the tribe.
