| Additional information |
Tarraco was the first city in the western provinces to establish an imperial cult for Augustus, and the coins struck under Tiberius here reflect that early, almost competitive, provincial loyalty. The local duoviri whose names appear in the legends were elected magistrates responsible for authorizing the issue — a civic honor that effectively tied their names to the emperor's for posterity.
RPC I 231 is one of several related issues from this mint attributable to the same magistrate pairing, struck on large orichalcum flans that Tarraco favored for its most prominent civic emissions.
