| Additional information |
Tincomarus was a son of Commius, the Atrebatic king who had served as Caesar's envoy during the Gallic Wars before dramatically switching sides and harrying Roman forces in Britain. The dynastic name on this quarter stater — "Tincom Commi," meaning Tincomarus son of Commius — was a deliberate political statement, asserting legitimacy at a moment when the tribal leadership was actively cultivating ties with Augustan Rome. Tincomarus would eventually be deposed by his brother Eppillus and fled to Augustus himself, an event recorded by the Res Gestae.
