| Additional information |
The Untikesken gens issued bronze coinage from the settlement of Untika — modern Ampurias, on the northeastern Catalan coast — during a period when Iberian civic authorities were increasingly asserting local monetary production under the watchful eye of Roman administration following the conquest of Hispania. The "As butterfly" designation refers to a distinctive reverse type that sets this emission apart within the broader Iberian bronze series catalogued under ACIP.
Ampurias had begun as a Greek Phocaean colony, Emporion, meaning "marketplace" — a name that survived into the Roman period precisely because the site never stopped functioning as one.
