Denarius - Juba II and Cleopatra Selene Caesarea

Juba II was no provincial client king making do at Rome's pleasure — he had been educated in Rome, walked in Caesar's triumphs as a child captive, and turned Caesarea into a genuinely cosmopolitan court. His queen, Cleopatra Selene, was the daughter of Antony and Cleopatra VII, herself paraded through Rome as a child in Octavian's triumph of 29 BC. Their joint coinage is rare in that it treats a consort as a co-issuing authority, a practice with deep Ptolemaic roots Cleopatra Selene would have understood as a birthright.

The CNNM references place this among the earlier documented types; the absence of MAA and SNG Copenhagen listings signals how thinly the series was represented in twentieth-century reference collections.
