| Additional information |
Osca — modern Huesca in Aragon — was one of a handful of Hispanic municipalities still exercising the right to strike local bronze under Tiberius, a privilege that Rome had been quietly withdrawing from provincial mints throughout the early imperial period. These small quadrantes served real transactional needs in a region where Roman imperial bronze rarely penetrated in sufficient quantities. The RPC I 293A attribution places this among a tight cluster of issues from the city, distinguished from closely related dies by subtle epigraphic variation in the Latin magistrate formula.
