Description: | British Iron Age silver unit of Tincomarus, Southern (Atrebates) region, c. 20 BC-AD 10, VA 473-1These silver units have been published by Van Arsdell as coins of Verica and later being reinterpreted as issues of Tincomarus. This reading of his name was first identified on a coin from the Alton hoard, found in 1996 (see http://www.thebritishmuseum.ac.uk/explore/highlights) Until this time his name had been reconstructed as Tincommius. It is highly likely that Tincomarus can be identified with the British king TIN mentioned in the Res Gestae Divi Augusti (an inscription outlining the achievements of the emperor Augustus, 31 BC-AD 14).
