Additional information

Juba II ruled Mauretania as a client king under Augustus — educated in Rome, married to Cleopatra Selene II (daughter of Antony and Cleopatra), and more prolific as a scholar than as a military commander. His coinage output was extraordinary in its volume and variety, struck at Caesarea across a reign spanning roughly four decades. The CNNM#196 variant designation here signals a die combination not captured in the principal references, which is unsurprising given how extensively Juba's mint recycled and recombined obverse and reverse dies.
