| Beschrijving keerzijde | A city gate or colonial gateway depicted in full frontal elevation, rendered with architectural precision to evoke the newly founded colony of Emerita Augusta (modern Mérida, Spain). The structure features a central arched gateway flanked by crenellated towers, with the inscription EMERITA prominently placed within or above the gate opening. The surrounding legend P CARISIVS LEG PRO PR references the issuing magistrate, Publius Carisius, legate pro praetore. This reverse type serves as a commemorative record of the foundation of Emerita, established as a settlement for Augustan veterans. The imagery is bold and schematic, consistent with the die-cutting conventions of Spanish mint issues of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck at the newly founded colonia of Emerita Augusta — modern Mérida, Spain — this issue was produced under the authority of Publius Carisius, legate propraetor of Lusitania, making it one of the earliest coins minted at a facility established specifically to pay veterans of the Cantabrian Wars. Augustus founded Emerita in 25 BC to settle discharged soldiers from Legions V Alaudae and X Gemina. Carisius commanded the campaign and personally oversaw the colony's establishment, which is why his name appears on the coinage — an unusual delegation of minting authority for the period.
