| Beschrijving keerzijde | Livia, assimilated to Ceres Augusta, is depicted seated to the right on a throne or chair, shown veiled and in full drapery. She holds a long sceptre in one hand and extends two ears of grain over a modius (grain measure) with the other, emblematic of her identification with the goddess of agriculture and abundance. The composition conveys imperial religious ideology linking the empress to divine fertility and Roman prosperity. The surrounding Latin legend CERERI AVGVSTAE THAMPSITANI identifies both the divine honorand and the civic issuing authority, the Thapsitanians. The reverse is executed in a bold, provincial engraving style consistent with the mint's output under Tiberius. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Thapsus — modern Ras Dimas on the Tunisian coast — was the site of Caesar's decisive victory over the Pompeian-Optimate forces in 46 BC, an association the city leveraged for generations in its civic identity under Rome. Under Tiberius, provincial bronzes like this one were issued by local magistrates operating within the framework of Roman provincial coinage, filling a gap that the imperial mint in Rome had little interest in servicing for everyday transactions in North Africa. The dedication to Ceres Augusta — a fusion of the grain goddess with imperial cult — was politically loaded in a province whose wheat exports were critical to Rome's annona supply.
