Ancient Kingdom of Thrace 11 BC-12 AD Rhoemetalces With Augustus Copper VF-EF (VF30)
Rhoemetalces I was a client king of Thrace who ruled from around 12 BC to AD 12 under the authority of the Roman Empire. Installed with Roman support following regional unrest, he governed alongside his wife Pythodoris I and worked to maintain stability in a strategically important frontier region. Ancient sources, including Tacitus, describe him as a capable and loyal ally of Rome. After his death, Augustus divided Rhoemetalces' realm into two separate kingdoms, giving one half for Rhoemetalces' brother Rescuporis II to rule, and the other to his son Cotys III.
