| Additional information |
Clunia — modern Coruña del Conde in Burgos province — was one of the few Hispano-Roman municipia still operating a bronze mint into the Tiberian period, when most provincial Spanish issues had already ceased. This piece belongs to a run of local aes coinage authorized under the magistrates named in the obverse legend, the quattuorviri whose names survive here almost by accident, preserved in metal long after the administrative machinery that appointed them dissolved.
Clunia would later gain prominence as the city where Galba was proclaimed emperor in 68 AD.
