Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denarius - Juba II (Caesarea) coin is that it features a unique blend of Roman and Mauritanian design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Juba II, the king of Mauretania, while the reverse side features a traditional Roman design of a goddess, in this case, Ceres, the goddess of agriculture and fertility. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between the Roman Empire and the kingdom of Mauretania during this time period.
