 Cleopatra Selene queen of Mauretania
Since Juba appears to have been monogamous, he suggests that Urania's husband must have been Ptolemy, and proposes that he revived the ancestral Numidian custom of harem polygamy; the title of "queen" ascribed to her by Julia Bodina was a local courtesy.
This is based on the assumption that Juba's marriage to Glaphyra indicates that he was a widower at that time, since Juba was a Roman citizen and therefore required to be monogamous by Roman law.
Therefore, Regling argued that either Cleopatra's portrait and symbols continued to be minted long after her death, or Juba must have remarried her after his brief marriage to Glaphyra, and she did not die until after the date of the hoard, i.e.

Juba's role as Duovir of the Spanish cities of Gades and Carthago Nova (modern Cartagena) were probably related to trade, also.
She and Juba each came from families which had been destroyed by Rome yet while Roman culture assimilated Juba, Selene carried on the Greco-Egyptian Ptolemaic line, to the extent of ignoring her father’s Roman heritage.
It is generally said that the Hellenistic age begins with the death of Alexander, and ends with the death of Cleopatra VII, yet clearly the coinage portrays Selene’s attempt to retain the legacy of the Ptolemaic line.
