| Additional information |
Ilici — modern Elche, in what is now the Valencia region of Spain — was a Roman colonial foundation, and its civic bronzes from the Tiberian period reflect a municipality eager to demonstrate loyalty to the new dynasty following Augustus's death in 14 AD. Colonial cities in Hispania retained the right to strike local aes coinage well into the first century, a privilege that Rome periodically curtailed and that Ilici exercised until issues from the region ceased entirely under Caligula.
The RPC I sequence places this among a tight cluster of Ilici emissions distinguished by subtle epigraphic variants in the duovir names recorded on the dies.
