Semis ΠΟΥΠΙΟϹ ΤΑΜΙΑϹ

The title ΤΑΜΙΑϹ — quaestor in Greek — identifies the Roman magistrate who authorized this issue, a practice common in eastern provincial minting where the quaestor held financial authority over the province. Publius, whose name appears in Latinized Greek as ΠΟΥΠΙΟϹ, administered Cyrenaica during the final convulsions of the Roman civil wars, the period bracketing Actium. Provincial bronze of this precise magistracy is sparsely documented, and SNG Copenhagen 1316 remains one of the primary reference points for attribution.
