Abstract

In this article we present our interpretation of the North African Berber kings’ monetary iconography, focusing on the Numidian kings. They coined money between the 3rd and the 1st centuries B.C.. We also deal with this coinage’s connection to the Carthaginian and the Roman ones, which constituted the main circulation coinage in the area. In this sense, we deal with the ideological and cultural aspects that sustained these North African monarchies in antiquity.
