The Cessetani were an Iberian people centered around the region of modern Tarragona — known in antiquity as Kese — whose bronze fractional coinage circulated during the period of deepening Roman consolidation of Hispania Citerior following the Celtiberian Wars. These small bronzes were minted locally under a degree of Roman administrative tolerance, part of a broader pattern in which Rome permitted indigenous coinage to continue serving regional exchange needs rather than absorbing every market into the denarius system.

ACIP 1181 is among the smaller fractions of the Cessetanian series, where attribution to specific fractional values relies heavily on weight groupings rather than explicit denomination marks.
