| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare or laureate head of Augustus facing right, rendered in low relief within a plain border. The portrait, characteristic of the Augustan provincial coinage of Carthage, is heavily worn and encrusted with brown-green patina, obscuring fine details of the effigy. The Latin authorization legend D D P P (decreto decurionum pecunia publica) appears in the field, attesting to the civic authority sanctioning the issue. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with locally produced colonial bronze coinage of the early Imperial period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Carthago was refounded as a Roman colony by Augustus around 29 BC on the site of the old Punic city — a deliberate act of appropriation that Caesar had originally planned. The colonial mint operated sporadically, and the duoviri whose abbreviated names appear on these small bronzes were local magistrates holding office in imitation of Rome's own consular system. Issues of this size and weight served the lowest denominations of daily exchange within the colony.
MAA 105 places this among a tightly catalogued group of Carthaginian colonial bronzes from the Augustan period, a series notable for its administrative rather than imperial emphasis.
