Additional information

Tincomarus was the first British ruler to use the Latin form of his name on coinage, a calculated signal of Roman alignment that likely reflects the political fallout following his father Commius's long antagonism toward Caesar. He eventually fled to Rome as a suppliant — recorded by Augustus in the Res Gestae — making him one of the very few Iron Age British rulers attested in Roman imperial documentation.
