Comment
Mazard cf. 237-9; MAA cf. 132; SNG Copenhagen cf. 555. Unpublished in the standard references.Interesting fact
The Denarius - Juba II (Caesarea) coin features an image of Juba II, the king of Mauretania, on one side, and an image of Caesar Augustus on the other. This coin was minted during Juba II's reign, which lasted from 20 BC to 24 AD. It's interesting to note that Juba II was a client king of the Roman Empire, and this coin was likely used as a symbol of his power and influence.
