| Additional information |
The Cessetani were an Iberian people centered around the territory of modern Tarragona — Kese in ancient sources — who adopted bronze fractional coinage as Roman administrative pressure reshaped the peninsula's economic networks following the Second Punic War. This piece is a sixth-unit fraction of their local bronze system, a denomination small enough that it circulated among the lowest tiers of daily exchange rather than in interregional trade.
Specimens are rarely found far from the core Cessetani territory, suggesting limited monetary reach before Roman provincial reorganization absorbed the region into Hispania Citerior.
