| Additional information |
Caesaraugusta — modern Zaragoza — was a Roman colony founded around 14 BC for veterans of the Cantabrian Wars, the grinding northwestern campaigns that finally brought the Iberian Peninsula under full Roman control. The city was granted the right to strike its own bronze coinage, an unusual privilege reflecting its status as a prestige colonial foundation rather than a mere administrative settlement. Local magistrates, whose names appear on these issues, exercised direct oversight of the mint — a point of civic pride encoded in the metal itself.
RPC I 315 places this issue within a sequence tied to duoviral magistracies datable to the final decade BC.
