| Additional information |
Graccurris was among the earliest Roman colonies in Hispania, traditionally said to have been founded by the praetor Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus around 179 BC during his campaign to pacify the Celtiberian interior — its very name preserves his. By the Julio-Claudian period, the town held Latin rights and struck its own bronze coinage as a mark of civic status, a privilege that distinguished it from purely administrative settlements. Issues attributable to Tiberius' reign are relatively few, and Graccurris itself produced no large series.
The SNG Copenhagen specimen is the most frequently cited comparanda for this type.
