Description
Æ, 34-31 BC, CYRENE, Quaestor pro praetore, A. Pupius Rufus,
27 mm, 10.28 g.
KAI TAMIAC, Head of Zeus Ammon r.// [Π]Ο]ΥΠΙΟ[C] / ANTIC[TPAT], sella castrensis and fasces.
BMC 27; RPC 920.26 (this coin).
R Very fine
Ex Collection M. Laffaille, Monnaies et Médailles 76, Basel 1991, lot 630; ex Collection Righetti II, Auctiones AG 29, Basel 2003, lot 389.
The dating of the otherwise unknown Aulus Pupius Rufus’ provincial administration remains uncertain; some evidence suggests that he administered Cyrene when Cyrenaica was nominally under the rule of Marc Antony's daughter Cleopatra Selene; cf. Jaworski, P.: An Unknown Coin of Pupius Rufus, Struck in Cyrenaica, Wiadomosci Numizmatyczne 53, 2009, 183-191.
Die Datierung der Provinzverwaltung des sonst unbekannten Aulus Pupius Rufus bleibt ungewiss; einiges spricht dafür, dass er Kyrene verwaltete, als die Cyrenaica nominell unter der Herrschaft von Marc Antons Tochter Kleopatra Selene stand (Jaworski, P.: An Unknown Coin of Pupius Rufus, Struck in Cyrenaica, Wiadomosci Numizmatyczne 53, 2009, 183-191).
