Ek bilgiler	Historical Context: This Æ21 coin from Hippo Regius, issued between 27 BC and 37 AD, spans the reigns of the first two Roman emperors, Augustus and Tiberius. As a significant Roman colony in North Africa (modern Annaba, Algeria), Hippo Regius issued this coinage to integrate its economy within the imperial system. These bronze issues served as essential local currency, simultaneously reinforcing Roman authority and showcasing the city's Romanized identity under imperial governance, demonstrating its importance within the provincial administration. Artistry: While the specific engraver remains anonymous, typical for provincial issues, the coin's artistry reflects the prevailing Augustan and Tiberian classical styles, often interpreted with local nuances. The 21mm flan permitted a reasonably detailed design, likely featuring an imperial portrait on the obverse, symbolizing Roman sovereignty. The reverse would typically display a local civic emblem or deity, representing Hippo Regius's distinct identity and pride within the broader Roman Empire, blending imperial recognition with local tradition. Technical/Grading: Weighing 5.71 grams and measuring 21mm, this bronze coin shares technical characteristics with other provincial issues of the era.
