Note: Struck under the Kings of Numidia, either Massinissa (203–148 BC) or Micipsa (148–118 BC), this coin reflects a kingdom at the crossroads of North African power and Roman diplomacy. Numidia, spanning modern Algeria and Tunisia, was renowned for its elite cavalry and strategic alliances, with coinage serving as a marker of royal authority and regional influence during the late 3rd and 2nd centuries BC.
