Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Roman and Numidian elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Atellius and Juba II, who were Roman client rulers of Numidia, while the reverse side features the Roman goddess Victory holding a wreath and a palm branch, symbolizing the Roman Empire's dominance over the region. This blending of cultures and imagery reflects the complex history of Numidia, which was a client state of the Roman Empire at the time.
