| Aversbeschreibung | Diademed and bearded male head facing left, identified as King Syphax of the Masaesyli, rendered in a Hellenistic portrait style. The effigy displays a short, close-cropped beard and a royal diadem encircling the hair. The portrait occupies the central field of the flan, with the features showing a strong yet somewhat schematic modelling characteristic of Numidian bronze coinage of this period. The plain field surrounding the bust bears no legend or additional devices. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Syphax ruled the Masaesyli tribe of western Numidia and spent much of his reign playing Rome and Carthage against each other with calculated opportunism — initially allying with Rome, then switching to Carthage after marrying Sophonisba, the daughter of the Carthaginian general Hasdrubal Gisco. That reversal ultimately cost him everything. Scipio defeated him at the Battle of the Great Plains in 203 BC, and Syphax died a Roman captive in Tibur shortly after. These bronzes were struck during the decades when his kingdom was at its greatest territorial extent.
