| Additional information |
Caesaraugusta — modern Zaragoza — was established as a Roman colony around 14 BC, likely settled with veterans from Augustus's Cantabrian Wars, and the city's coins functioned partly as civic propaganda for a community anxious to advertise its loyalty. The duoviri whose names appear on this as, Marcus Porcius and Gnaeus Fadius, held magistracies during a period when the colony's mint was exceptionally active, producing multiple denominations under rotating pairs of officials.
The RPC I 314 attribution places this firmly within the colony's second series of duoviral issues.
