Above the bull's head appears a small pediment or shrine-like architectural element, likely referencing a local Caesaraugustan cult symbol. The mint abbreviation C C A (Colonia Caesar Augusta) is inscribed in the upper field on either side of the pediment, all within a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Caesaraugusta — modern Zaragoza — was a Roman colonial foundation on the Ebro, planted by Augustus to settle veterans of the Cantabrian Wars. Under Tiberius it remained one of the most prolific municipal mints in Hispania, issuing bronze locally at a time when the imperial government in Rome had effectively abandoned bronze coinage from the central mints. The colonial magistrates, here styled as IIviri, authorized these issues under their own civic authority rather than imperial directive.
RPC I 340 is well documented across multiple die pairings, suggesting sustained production rather than a single emission.
