Æ25–30 - Livia Drusilla Minerva

Oea — modern Tripoli — was one of three Phoenician settlements that gave the Tripolitania region its name, and its civic coinage under Tiberius is among the scarcest municipal bronze output from North Africa. This issue honors Livia following her formal association with the cult of Bona Dea and her increasing religious prominence after Augustus's death in 14 AD, when she was adopted into the gens Julia and assumed the name Julia Augusta. Tiberius notably refused to grant her the title "Mater Patriae," creating a studied official ambiguity about her status that provincial mints like Oea apparently chose to sidestep through divine rather than political attribution.
