Saguntum's coinage in silver drachms was struck under Roman oversight following the city's restoration after the Second Punic War — Rome had made Saguntum's destruction by Hannibal in 219 BC the formal pretext for declaring war on Carthage. The surviving Edetani community was permitted to mint, but within Roman-aligned parameters, making these issues a product of calculated political rehabilitation rather than independent civic ambition.
