Rincaleus

Dominus Rincaleus

Rincaleus is a Thracian god, known from a few epigraphic inscriptions found near Krinides, Philippi, Greece.[1] He is identified as a "Great God" in the pantheon of the Sapei, and is presented as a horseman.[2] The dedications were made by Roman citizens. The theonym is written in Latin. Probably Rincaleus is local deity and was syncretized with Apollo.

The Latin text of the shown inscription:[3]

D(omino) Rinc(aleo) ex ip[erio] L(ucius) Ac(cius) Venustus

Etymology

Linguist Vladimir I. Georgiev compared the name Rincaleus to Greek word ριμφαλέος ("rhimphaléos"), meaning 'quick'.[4] Ivan Duridanov [bg] also interpreted the name as 'quick, swift', originating from a Proto-Indo-European stem *wrṇgh or *u̯rṇgh.[5][6] Georgiev assumed the name was the epithet of the Thracian rider god.[7]
