| Beschrijving keerzijde | A togate priest, facing right, drives a yoke of two oxen to the right, performing the ritual act of ploughing the sacred boundary (sulcus primigenius) of the colony, a standard colonial foundation type. The scene is rendered in bold, somewhat schematic relief typical of provincial Hispanic workshops. The magistrates' names C ALSANO and T CERVIO, identified as duumviri (II VIR), appear in the surrounding legend along with the colony name CAESARAVGVSTA, all within a beaded border. This reverse type is a well-attested colonial foundation motif referencing the establishment of Caesaraugusta (modern Zaragoza) as a Roman colony. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Caesaraugusta — modern Zaragoza — was established as a Roman colony around 14 BC, settled by veterans of Augustus's Cantabrian Wars. The mint was active relatively early in the colony's life, and the duoviri named in the legend, C. Alsanus and T. Cervius, functioned as the magistrates responsible for authorizing this issue. Colonial bronzes of this type circulated locally rather than empire-wide, filling a gap in small-denomination coinage that Rome's central mints simply did not address for provincial populations.
RPC I 306 is among the better-documented issues from this mint's early sequence, with die studies by Hill confirming multiple obverse dies in circulation simultaneously.
