| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare head of Divus Julius Caesar facing right, rendered in low relief with somewhat stylized hair locks typical of provincial bronze coinage. The portrait displays the characteristic features associated with posthumous depictions of the deified Julius Caesar. The legend DIVOS IVLIVS arcs around the periphery, affirming his divine status as proclaimed following his assassination in 44 BC. The field is flat and unadorned, consistent with the austere aesthetic of early Augustan provincial issues. The flan is irregular and shows the characteristic roughness of hammered provincial bronze. |

Leptis Minor — not to be confused with the far more prominent Leptis Magna — was a Phoenician foundation on the Tunisian coast that retained enough civic standing under Roman administration to issue its own bronze coinage. This emission dates to the early Augustan reorganization of Africa Proconsularis, when local authority to strike bronze was being quietly extended to select communities as part of Rome's broader policy of integrating provincial elites into the imperial framework without granting full colonial status.
The Greek legend ΛΕΠΤΙϹ rather than a Latin rendering is a telling detail — the city's Semitic and Hellenized administrative traditions persisted well into the Augustan period.
