| Additional information |
Juba I ruled Numidia through one of the most turbulent periods of the late Republic, ultimately backing Pompey and the senatorial faction against Caesar. After the defeat at Thapsus in 46 BC, he and Marcus Petreius reportedly agreed to a mutual suicide rather than face capture — the kingdom itself was absorbed into the new Roman province of Africa Nova almost immediately afterward. His bronze coinage thus has a hard terminal date fixed by military defeat and political annihilation, not administrative reform.
