The Corpus Nummorum Numidiae by Jean Mazard is an essential reference work for the study of Numidian coinage. Published in 1955, it offers a detailed and methodical catalogue of the monetary issues of the Numidian kingdoms, particularly during the reigns of Massinissa and his successors.
Through a precise classification system, accompanied by descriptions, illustrative plates, and historical analysis, Mazard highlights the richness and diversity of these coins. They stand as key evidence of economic exchanges, cultural influences, and political authority in ancient North Africa.
Intended for both specialists and informed enthusiasts, this corpus remains a fundamental resource for understanding Numidian numismatics and, more broadly, the history of the ancient Mediterranean world.
