Trishekel de bronze
Description
Cette monnaie de bronze, frappée sous Massinissa (204-148 avant J.-C.) montre la double influence qui s'exerce sur le royaume. Le cheval du revers et la métrologie (poids et diamètre) de la pièce rappellent le monnayage des derniers temps de Carthage. L'effigie laurée et de style grec du roi montre l'influence des royautés hellénistiques diffusée sur l'ensemble de la Méditerranée et donc aussi en Numidie par le biais des cercles hellénisants de l'aristocratie punique. Ce numéraire de bronze, le premier frappé en grande quantité en Numidie, atteste de la transformation du monde des tribus berbères en États de type hellénistique avec une monarchie, des cités, une armée, une monnaie. Massinissa a joué un rôle fondamental dans cette évolution. Jacques Alexandropoulos, Périple méditerranéen, 2003
