Beschrijving voorzijde Laureate and draped bust of Victory facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style, with elaborately coiffed hair adorned with a laurel wreath and a small wing visible at the shoulder. The portrait is executed with careful attention to detail, typical of late Numidian royal coinage blending Roman and North African artistic traditions. The Latin legend REX IVBA appears in the field, identifying the issuing monarch. A beaded border encircles the design. The bust displays a graceful profile characteristic of allegorical Victory types adopted by client kings of the late Republican period.

Aanvullende informatie

Juba I allied with Pompey against Caesar, and after Pompey's defeat at Pharsalus in 48 BC he continued the Pompeian resistance in North Africa alongside Metellus Scipio. That cause ended at Thapsus in 46 BC, after which Juba fled and died by suicide rather than submit to Caesar's triumph. The quinarius denomination itself was a Roman form adopted deliberately — Juba minted in Roman weight standards to signal legitimacy to the substantial Roman settler and merchant population within his reach.
