Quadrans AED CAL SEX NIG

Celsa — the Roman colony of Lepida, later renamed Celsa, founded on the Ebro in modern Aragon — issued bronze fractions under a rotating system of local magistrates whose abbreviated names appear on the coinage. The three names here, AED CAL SEX NIG, identify aediles responsible for the issue, a practice that tied civic accountability directly to the minting process in ways Roman colonial administration actively encouraged.

ACIP 1500 places this among the earliest colonial bronze issues from the Ebro valley, struck within a decade of the colony's formal establishment by Lepidus around 44 BC.
