| Additional information |
The Untikesken gens — the Iberian name for the population centered at Emporion, the Greek colonial foundation on the northeastern Catalan coast — began striking their own bronze issues as Roman administrative pressure reshaped the monetary geography of Hispania Citerior. The legends on these coins are written in the northeastern Iberian script, one of the better-documented but still only partially understood semi-syllabic writing systems of pre-Roman Iberia.
The dating range spans the final decades of the Roman Republic through the Augustan settlement, a period during which indigenous Iberian minting rights were progressively curtailed and then extinguished.
