| Aanvullende informatie |
Hiempsal II ruled Numidia as a client of Rome following Sulla's reorganization of North African political arrangements in the 80s BC. His kingdom was later seized by Caesar's ally Pompey and temporarily absorbed into Roman-aligned territory before his son Juba I inherited and ultimately backed the wrong side at Thapsus in 46 BC. The long reign span attributed to this coinage reflects genuine uncertainty — the bronze and silver issues of Numidian kings are notoriously difficult to sequence with precision.
