British Celts, Corieltauvi, c. 45 - 10 B.C.
|Celtic| |&| |Tribal|, |British| |Celts,| |Corieltauvi,| |c.| |45| |-| |10| |B.C.|, The Corieltauvi were a tribe of Celtic people living in Britain prior to the Roman conquest, and thereafter a civitas of Roman Britain. Their territory was in what is now the English East Midlands. They were bordered by the Brigantes to the north, the Cornovii to the west, the Dobunni and Catuvellauni to the south, and the Iceni to the east. Their capital was called Ratae Corieltauvorum, known today as Leicester. They seem to have offered little or no resistance to Roman rule: Ratae was captured c. AD 44, and it may have had a Roman garrison. The Fosse Way, a Roman road, passed through their territory.
