| Additional information |
Oea — modern Tripoli — was one of three Phoenician settlements comprising the Emporia region of North Africa, and its civic bronze issues under Augustus reflect a municipally administered coinage rather than direct imperial production. The city retained enough local autonomy to produce its own bronze well into the Augustan period, though these issues are thinly documented and survive in small numbers. Müller's catalogue remains the primary reference, and the die linkages between SBZ 39 and 40 suggest a single concentrated production run rather than multiple emissions across the date range.
