African Real Power. Propaganda and Legitimization of Juba I (ca. 60-46 B.C.) through their Hellenistic Coinage

Abstract

This paper aims to present a state of the question about the coins struck by Juba I, king of Numidia. Historically we find ourselves before the Second Roman Civil War maintained between Pompey and Julius Caesar (49-45 B.C.), where Juba I supports the «Pompeian faction». The Juba I coins and its relation with the payment of contracted troops is clear. In addition, the monetary legends are propaganda and influence in the subsequent legitimization of the Numidian throne, in hands of Juba I.
