| Additional information |
Lastigi was a pre-Roman town in Hispania Ulterior whose precise location remains unresolved — proposed sites range across the Guadalquivir valley, and no ancient source settles the question. The town struck a limited bronze coinage during the period of Roman consolidation following the Celtiberian Wars, likely as a practical response to the chronic shortage of small change in the interior provinces rather than any civic assertion of independence.
The ACIP classification places this among the scarcest municipally-issued bronzes from the region.
