Aanvullende informatie

Caesaraugusta — modern Zaragoza — was a Roman colony founded by Augustus on the Ebro, and its local magistrates minted bronze with unusual civic pride well into the Julio-Claudian period. The dupondii naming local duumviri, here Scipione and Montano, belong to a series tied to the reign of Caligula, when colonial minting in Hispania remained active before being sharply curtailed under Claudius. The colony never recovered its minting rights afterward, making this entire civic series a terminal episode in Caesaraugusta's numismatic history.
