| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare head of a river deity facing right, depicted with open mouth as if spitting or discharging water, a common iconographic convention for river gods in provincial Roman coinage. The bust is rendered in a somewhat rough provincial style, consistent with early Augustan colonial issues from Emerita Augusta. The surrounding field bears the colonial legend, partially legible along the periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Emerita Augusta — modern Mérida, Spain — was founded around 25 BC specifically to settle veterans of the Legio V Alaudae and Legio X Gemina following Augustus's Cantabrian Wars. The mint was among the first established in the western provinces under direct imperial authority, and its early colonial bronzes served the immediate practical need of paying and supplying a veteran population in a newly pacified region with no existing monetary infrastructure.
RPC I 9 is among the smaller denominations in the Emeritan sequence, struck before the colony's mint output was regularized under later magistrates.
