Additional information

The Untikesken gens — the Iberian tribe centered at Emporion on the northeastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula — minted bronze coinage throughout the late Republican period while maintaining a complex dual identity, their city having grown from a Greek Phocaean colony into a heavily Romanized trading hub. This issue falls within the period of the Sertorian War, when the peninsula became a theater for the Roman civil conflict between Sertorius and the Sullan commanders, a disruption that would have pressured local mints to sustain output for commerce and troop-related transactions.

The dating window overlaps precisely with Rome's gradual absorption of indigenous Iberian monetary systems.
