| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse of this cut half As displays a prominent partial legend reading P CARISIVS LEG AVGVSTI in bold, well-spaced capital letters along the curved rim, identifying Publius Carisius as legatus Augusti and monetary authority for the Emeritan mint. The legend is the dominant design element visible on this half-flan, with the remainder of the reverse type — likely an aquila between standards or a similar military emblem characteristic of the Emerita coinage — lost to the cut. The straight cut edge is clean and deliberate, indicating intentional halving rather than accidental fracture. Surface shows brown and green patination with moderate wear consistent with circulation use as a halved coin. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
P. Carisius served as Augustus's legate in Hispania during the Cantabrian Wars, and these bronzes were struck in the field — almost certainly at an emergency military mint in Spain, possibly Emerita Augusta before that colony was formally established. The cut-half format was deliberate: the Roman monetary system had no bronze fractional denomination small enough for daily soldier pay disbursements, so halving the as created a semis equivalent on the spot. The cuts on genuine examples typically follow a straight, deliberate line rather than a jagged break, distinguishing authorized halving from casual damage.
