| Additional information |
The attribution to an uncertain Lusitanian city is itself historically telling. Rome's administrative grip on the western Iberian peninsula during Augustus's reign was still consolidating — many civic mints operating under imperial sanction in Hispania Ulterior Lusitania lacked the institutional continuity to leave clear epigraphic or archaeological traces. The FITA and NAH references place this within a documented group, but the issuing city remains unresolved in the literature.
Local bronze coinage of this type circulated as fractional currency in a region where Roman denarii were scarce in everyday transactions.
