Æ30 - Augustus C AL POMP M F VIC Q A F C KAR

Cartenna, a coastal settlement west of Caesarea in Mauretania, struck civic bronze coinage under Augustus as part of a broader pattern of municipia in the western provinces asserting local identity through coin production — a practice Augustus tacitly encouraged as a mechanism of Romanization without the expense of imperial mint involvement. The magistrate names preserved in the legend are among the few epigraphic traces of Cartenna's civic administration from this period.
