| Additional information |
Tincomarus was a son of Commius — the Atrebatic king who had served Julius Caesar as a diplomatic envoy before spectacularly defecting to lead resistance against him in Gaul. The 'D' stater series reflects Tincomarus's own complex relationship with Rome: he was among the first British rulers to place his name in Latin lettering on coinage and is recorded in the Res Gestae of Augustus as a king who sought Roman protection, eventually fleeing to Augustus around 7 AD after losing power to his brother Eppillus.
That flight to Rome is the last historical record of him.
