| Additional information |
Thapsus — modern Ras Dimas on the Tunisian coast — retained the right to strike local bronze under the early Principate, a privilege tied to its status as a Roman colony founded after Caesar's decisive victory there in 46 BC. This issue falls within the magistracy of a local duovir whose abbreviated name appears in the legend, one of a small number of African colonial mints still producing autonomous bronze during the reign of Tiberius. The series is thinly documented, and die links between specimens have not been systematically catalogued.
