Æ - Tiberius M MVN IVL VTIC D D P P

Utica was one of the oldest Phoenician settlements in North Africa — older than Carthage itself — and received municipal status under Julius Caesar or shortly after. The duoviri responsible for issuing civic bronze under Tiberius were asserting local administrative legitimacy through coin production, a privilege tightly controlled by Rome. The abbreviation D D P P records the decree of the local decuriones, the town council authorizing the issue.

The reference I#722A suggests a variant within a small, poorly documented series. Specimens attributed to this municipality appear infrequently in major collections.
