| Beschrijving keerzijde | A war galley (warship prow) depicted in left profile, with characteristic curved stem, oar-box, and ram visible at the waterline, rendered in a schematic but recognizable manner. Above the vessel, a dotted border arcs along the upper rim of the flan. The field to the lower right contains a small circular element, possibly a shield or boss. No legend appears on this side, leaving the reverse design as the sole identifying motif, consistent with the civic bronze coinage of Iol Caesarea associating the city with maritime power and its Phoenician heritage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Juba II was no ordinary client king. Educated in Rome, intimate with Augustus, and married first to Cleopatra Selene — daughter of Antony and Cleopatra — he ruled Mauretania as a genuinely Hellenistic intellectual, publishing works on natural history, geography, and theater that were cited for centuries. The Iol Caesarea mint he established reflects that duality: a Berber kingdom producing coinage in thoroughly Roman idiom, its nomenclature rebranded from the old Phoenician settlement name to honor Augustus directly.
The AS SITVM formula on this issue is a latinized weight designation, an unusual intrusion of Roman metrological language into provincial bronze coinage rarely seen this explicitly on North African civic issues.
