Additional information

Untikesken was the Iberian name for the mint at Emporion — the Greek colony at modernday Empúries on the Catalan coast — where local Iberian magistrates issued bronze fractions alongside the better-known silver drachms. The iltirarker legend identifies the issuing authority in the Iberian script, a detail that places these small bronzes squarely within the administrative hybridization that followed Roman consolidation of Hispania Citerior after 197 BC. Fractional bronzes of this type circulated in a regional economy still navigating between Iberian, Greek, and Roman monetary conventions simultaneously.
