| Additional information |
Caesaraugusta — modern Zaragoza — was a Roman colony founded by Augustus around 14 BC, and its local magistrates took the privilege of coin production seriously. The two duoviri named here, Mn. Flavius Festus and M. Ofillius Silvanus, held office during their second term (ITER, iterum), a detail that pins this issue to a specific administrative moment in the colony's civic calendar that Roman provincial numismatists have used to sequence the Caesaraugustan series. The colony struck bronze throughout the Tiberian period and stopped abruptly under Caligula, making this one of the last sustained Hispanic provincial bronze outputs in the western empire.
