Comment
The Banasa Hoard, deposited in circa AD 18-17 was found in 1907 near modern day Souk-el Arbaa, 120 km northeast of Rabat, Morocco, in 1907. The hoard was previously said to be from Alkazar (El Ksar El Kebir), 70 km south of Tangier and hence is occasionally referred to as the El Ksar Hoard. The group contained approximately 4000 silver coins and one bronze. A substantial number of the coins now reside in public collections, principally in London, Paris, Berlin, Athens, New York and Algiers.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 25 BC to 24 AD. The fact that the coin features both Juba II and Caesar Augustus highlights the complex political relationship between Mauretania and the Roman Empire during this time period.
