Gold 1/4 Stater - Tincomarus T Horse

Tincomarus was the son of Commius, the Atrebatic king who had served as Caesar's envoy during the Gallic campaigns before spectacularly defecting and leading guerrilla resistance against Roman forces. The son took a different path entirely — his coinage, including this issue, shows progressive Roman stylistic influence, and ancient sources record that he eventually fled to Augustus himself, presumably around 7 AD, possibly displaced by his brother Eppillus.

The "T Horse" designation distinguishes this die grouping within a larger, complex series. The abbreviated name on the coinage — a direct Roman naming convention — marks a political alignment that Tincomarus wore openly on his currency.
