| Additional information |
Utica, the oldest Phoenician settlement in North Africa and once a rival to Carthage itself, was granted the right to strike local bronze coinage under Roman administration as a civic privilege rather than an imperial mandate. This dupondius was issued under the joint magistracies of C. Vibius Marsus and C. Sallustius Justus, the latter serving his second term — an unusual detail that survives only because the legends record it explicitly. Vibius Marsus would later serve as governor of Syria under Claudius, where he clashed openly with Herod Agrippa I.
