| Additional information |
The Oilaunikos gens issued this denarius under Iberian tribal authority during the long stretch of Roman pacification campaigns in Hispania Citerior — a period when Rome permitted or simply could not prevent local minting as a practical concession to regional economies. The mint attribution remains debated; CNH places it among the Iberian silver issues of the northeastern peninsula, though the precise civic or tribal seat behind the Oilaunikos name has never been definitively located archaeologically.
Most specimens turn up in hoards associated with the Sertorian War period, suggesting active circulation through the 80s and 70s BC.
