| Beschrijving keerzijde | A schematic depiction of a Roman military camp gateway (porta praetoria) shown in elevation, featuring a central arched entrance flanked by two towers with battlements, rendered in a bold, stylized manner characteristic of Hispanian provincial bronze coinage. The architectural motif symbolizes the military origins of the colonia of Emerita Augusta, founded for veteran legionaries. The colonial legend COL AVGVST(A) EMERITA is distributed around the field and in the exergue, encircling the gateway device within a dotted border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Emerita Augusta (modern Mérida, Spain) was founded around 25 BC as a settlement for veterans — *emeriti* — discharged from Augustus's Legio V Alaudae and Legio X Gemina following the Cantabrian Wars. The colony held the rank of *colonia*, governed its own coinage, and was the administrative capital of Lusitania. Issues struck under Tiberius continued the Augustan colonial series, with the colony's name carried prominently in the legend as a mark of civic status rather than imperial instruction.
RPC I 42 is among the better-documented of the Emeritan bronzes, though die alignment and flan quality vary considerably across surviving specimens.
