Denarius - Juba II Caesarea

Descrizione del dritto	Diademed and draped bust of King Juba II facing right, portrayed in the Hellenistic royal tradition with curling hair bound by a royal diadem. The effigy displays finely rendered drapery at the truncation. The Latin legend REX IVBA is distributed around the field, affirming the monarch's royal title. The portrait exhibits the idealized yet individualized style characteristic of client-king coinage of the early Imperial period.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Juba II ruled Mauretania as a client king under Augustus — educated in Rome, friend to the imperial household, and by most accounts more comfortable writing Greek scholarship than governing a North African kingdom. His coinage was produced at Caesarea (modern Cherchell, Algeria) and reflects that dual identity: a Romanized prince issuing coins on a reduced Augustan denarius standard rather than any indigenous weight system. The reference alignment across CNNM, MAA, and SNG Copenhagen confirms this as a well-documented type, though the series as a whole is considerably rarer than contemporary Roman imperial issues.
