Gentinos was a minor Illyrian dynast whose coinage is known from a handful of types, all bronze, all small. The name appears in no major literary source with certainty, leaving the attribution dependent almost entirely on numismatic evidence — the coins are, effectively, the primary record of his existence. Whether he ruled a town, a tribe, or simply a stretch of Adriatic hinterland remains unresolved.
The SNG Copenhagen and Munich specimens cited here represent the core of the known corpus for this type.
