| Additional information |
Ercavica, a municipium in Hispania Citerior near modern Cuenca, was among the provincial Spanish mints that seized on Caligula's accession in 37 AD to produce local bronze coinage bearing the new emperor's name — a calculated act of civic loyalty that also filled a genuine need for small-denomination currency in the region. The duoviri whose names appear on this issue, standard magistrates overseeing municipal coinage, represent the last generation of Spanish civic minting; Augustus and his successors had been steadily consolidating monetary production, and most Iberian municipal mints fell silent permanently under Claudius.
