| Additional information |
Tingi — modern Tangier — was one of the oldest Phoenician settlements on the Atlantic coast of North Africa, and its civic coinage under Tiberius reflects a client city carefully performing its loyalty to Rome. The city retained the right to strike bronze under Juba II and continued through the early reign of Tiberius, a privilege that distinguished Tingi from most of Mauretania's interior towns.
The dating window of 23–29 AD overlaps with the rise and fall of Sejanus, whose grip on Tiberian administration made provincial loyalty displays increasingly pointed.
