| Additional information |
The Corieltauvi occupied a broad territory across what is now Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire, and their coinage is unusual among British tribes for frequently carrying paired names — interpreted by most scholars as joint rulers or successive magistrates rather than a single king. "Vepo" and its associated name on this stater remain only partially understood; no Roman source names a Corieltauvian ruler by this title, leaving the identification built entirely from the numismatic record itself. The tribe submitted to Rome in 43 AD without recorded military resistance.
