| Additional information |
Emporia — modern Ampurias on the Catalan coast — was a Greek colonial foundation that by the late Republic had developed a peculiar dual civic structure: a Greek town and a Roman settlement occupying adjacent but legally distinct communities on the same site. This bronze was struck during the politically ambiguous decades following Caesar's campaigns in Hispania, when local mints across the peninsula were navigating Roman administrative pressure while clinging to residual civic identity. The city ceased independent coinage entirely under Augustus.
