Semis

Cerit was a small Iberian town in the northeastern Hispania Citerior region, and its bronze coinage was among the locally autonomous issues permitted under Roman provincial oversight during the late Republic. The semis denomination placed this piece within a Roman-influenced fractional system, yet the issuing authority remained distinctly indigenous — a hybrid monetary arrangement common to Romanized Iberian communities that retained limited civic minting rights before full Roman administrative consolidation absorbed them.
