Additional information

The Corieltauvi occupied a large territory across what is now the East Midlands, and their coinage is notable for frequently bearing paired names — likely representing joint rulers or magistrates, an administrative arrangement unparalleled among British Iron Age tribes. The "Att As" inscription places this unit within a specific late phase of Corieltauvi production, after the tribe had moved from purely abstract designs toward issues carrying abbreviated Latin-influenced legends, almost certainly under pressure from expanding Roman trade networks in the decades before the Claudian invasion of 43 AD.
