Commentary
Représentation tout à fait inhabituelle du droit. Muller est le seul à signaler cette variante avec la massue seule qui appartenait à la collection Gosselin au XIXe siècle. Semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. C’est la première fois que nous le proposons à la vente.
A very unusual representation of the right. Muller is the only one to report this variant, with the club alone, which belonged to the Gosselin collection in the 19th century. It seems much rarer than general works suggest. This is the first time we have offered it for sale.

Historical background
MAURETANIA - MAURETANIAN KINGDOM - JUBA II
(25 BC - 23 AD)
Juba I had been defeated at Thapsus in 46 BC but his son, Juba II (50 AC. - 23 AD), brought up by Octavia, became the friend of Augustus who gave him the province of Mauretania in 25 BC Cleopatra Selene, daughter of Cleopatra VII and Marc Antoine, was spared by Octave in 30 BC when the latter had Ptolemy XV (Caesarion) put to death. She married Juba II around 19 BC and died around 5 or 6 AD. Juba II survived him by about eighteen years. She is the great aunt of Caligula and the mother of Ptolemy who succeeded Juba II and whom his cousin Caligula had assassinated in Rome in 40 to annex Mauretania.
