| Beschrijving keerzijde | Bare head of Lucius Apronius, the Roman proconsul of Africa, facing right, rendered in a plain provincial style with minimal ornamentation. The portrait is unadorned and naturalistic, consistent with the honorific civic coinage issued by North African municipia under Roman administration. The surrounding legend L APRONIVS HIPPONE LIBERA identifies the magistrate and the issuing city of Hippo Regius, affirming its status as a libera civitas. The overall execution is characteristic of local African mint production of the early Imperial period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hippo Regius — modern Annaba in Algeria — was one of the few North African municipia granted the right to strike bronze coinage under Augustus, a privilege that continued fitfully into Tiberius's reign. This issue belongs to a series tied to the proconsulship of Lucius Apronius, who governed Africa from around 18 to 21 AD and is better remembered for his brutal suppression of the Tacfarinas revolt, a prolonged guerrilla war waged by a former auxiliary soldier across Numidia. The coin's civic magistrate names anchor it precisely within that turbulent period.
