| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare or laureate head of Emperor Tiberius facing right, rendered in a provincial style characteristic of North African civic coinage of the early 1st century AD. The portrait, though heavily worn and covered with a dark olive-green patina, retains the general outline of an imperial effigy with a discernible neck truncation. The surrounding field is largely smooth and plain, with no visible border or peripheral legend on this face. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hammered provincial production at Utica. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field bearing a large, bold Latin inscription arranged in multiple lines across the die, referencing the municipal authority of Utica under Tiberius. The legend M M IVL VTI D D P P is distributed within the field in a compact, somewhat irregular arrangement typical of provincial civic bronzes, accompanied by partial dotted borders visible along the right margin. The surface displays considerable wear and uneven patination in shades of brown and dark green, though the principal letters remain legible. The flan edge is irregular and chipped, a hallmark of the hammered technique employed at this municipal mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Utica was among the oldest Phoenician settlements in North Africa — older than Carthage by ancient reckoning — and retained enough civic prestige under Rome to strike its own municipal bronze long after most African cities had lost that privilege. This issue falls within the joint administration of the duoviri, the abbreviated magistrate formula standard to Augustan and early Tiberian colonial coinage in the western provinces. RPC I 730 is a small module with a relatively short attestation window, minted before Tiberius consolidated imperial messaging and curtailed much of the autonomous municipal output across Africa Proconsularis.
