As caduceus

The Untikesken gens — the Iberian tribal authority centered at Emporion, the Greek colony at modern Empúries on the Catalan coast — issued this series during a period of accelerated Romanization following the Second Punic War. Rome's decisive campaigns in Hispania had left the northeastern coast politically reorganized, and local mints like Untikesken operated under increasing Roman influence while still producing distinctly Iberian-tradition bronzes. The caduceus series fits within a monetization push tied to local market exchange rather than tribute payment.
