The Corieltauvi occupied a broad territory across what is now Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire, and their coinage is unusual among British tribal issues for showing clear evidence of multiple rulers — or possibly joint rulership — inferred from coins bearing paired names. Vepo, Vepoc, and related inscriptions have generated considerable debate about whether these represent a single ruler's name in variant abbreviated forms or distinct individuals sharing authority. No Roman historical source names them directly.
This fractional denomination was likely produced in the years immediately preceding Claudius's invasion of 43 AD, after which Corieltauvian coinage ceased.
