The animal's mane and tail are indicated with summary but expressive strokes. The Greek legend KΛEOPATRA BACIΛICCA is distributed around the device in the field, identifying the co-ruler Queen Cleopatra Selene. A dotted border frames the composition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Juba II was no ordinary client king — educated in Rome, raised in the household of Julius Caesar's heir, and married to Cleopatra Selene II, the daughter of Antony and Cleopatra. Augustus installed the pair in Caesarea (modern Cherchell, Algeria) around 25 BC as a deliberate instrument of Roman soft power on the Mauretanian frontier. The joint issue naming both rulers is politically pointed: Selene's Ptolemaic bloodline lent the new dynasty a legitimacy Juba's Numidian ancestry alone could not provide.
The nearly five-decade production window for Caesarean bronzes means die wear and corrosion vary considerably across the series.
