| Beschrijving keerzijde | A togate priest, viewed from behind, drives a yoke of two oxen to the right, performing the ritual act of ploughing the sacred furrow (sulcus primigenius) that symbolizes the foundation of the Roman colony of Caesaraugusta (modern Zaragoza). The colonial legend CAESARAVGVSTA C ALSANO T CERVIO II VIR surrounds the scene, naming the two local magistrates (duoviri) C. Alsanus and T. Cervius who were responsible for the issue. The reverse type closely follows the standard colonial foundation iconography employed across Augustan Hispanic colonial mints. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Caesaraugusta — modern Zaragoza — was founded as a Roman colony around 14 BC, likely settled with veterans of the Cantabrian Wars. Its colonial mint was unusually prolific, producing an extensive series of bronze issues under rotating duumvirs whose names appear on the coinage as a deliberate display of local magistrate authority within the Roman colonial framework. The duumvirs named here, C. Alsanus and T. Cervius, held office during one of the mint's active series, though their precise dating within the Augustan range remains contested among specialists.
RPC I 308 is catalogued among the commoner Caesaraugusta issues, but fine survivors with legible magistrate names are less frequently encountered than the raw numbers suggest.
