| Additional information |
Tincomarus was a son of Commius, the Atrebatic king who had served Julius Caesar as an envoy before spectacularly defecting during the Gallic Wars. By the time Tincomarus was issuing coins, Roman political influence over southern Britain had intensified under Augustus, and Tincomarus eventually fled to Rome — recorded in the Res Gestae as a suppliant at the emperor's court, one of the few British rulers explicitly mentioned in Roman imperial records.
ABC 1070 belongs to the crescent series, among the earlier attributable issues to Tincomarus, predating the more Romanized coin types he later produced as Augustus's cultural reach deepened into the region.
