| Additional information |
Caesaraugusta — the Roman colony established by Augustus on the Ebro — retained the right to strike local bronze coinage well into the Tiberian period, a privilege exercised through annually appointed duoviri whose names appear on the coins themselves. The magistrates named here, C. Carius Cato and L. Vettiacus, held office in 31–32 AD, the same year Sejanus fell from power in Rome. Whether that upheaval reached the mint house on the Ebro in any practical sense is unknown, but the colonial issues continued uninterrupted.
RPC I 345 is among the better-documented Caesaraugustan types, with enough die studies completed to confirm relatively consistent output for its year.
