Additional information

Caesaraugusta — modern Zaragoza — was founded as a Roman colony around 14 BC, settling veterans of the Cantabrian Wars on the Ebro. The city's magistrates exercised the right to strike bronze locally, and duoviri like C. Alliarius and T. Verrius appear across a tightly clustered sequence of issues from the Augustan period, their names rotating through office in the civic calendar. RPC I 318 belongs to a well-documented series, but the colonial bronzes of Caesaraugusta are notoriously inconsistent in flan preparation, with many surviving examples showing ragged edges from irregular casting.
