Diviciacus (Suessiones)

Diviciacus or Divitiacus was a king of the Belgic nation of the Suessiones in the early 1st century BC. Julius Caesar, writing in the mid-1st century BC, says that he had within living memory been the most powerful king in Gaul, ruling a large portion not only of Gallia Belgica, but also of Britain. His coins give his name (in the ancient Greek alphabet) as δειοιχυαχοϲ.

He should not be confused with his namesake Diviciacus of the Aedui.
