| Additional information |
Carthago Nova was one of the most productive municipal mints in Hispania during the Augustan period, and its magistrate-named coinage offers an unusually precise record of local administrative succession. The HIBERO PRAEF designation identifies a praefect rather than the more common duoviri, a distinction that points to an interruption in the normal colonial magistracy — possibly a temporary appointment during a period when the regular offices went unfilled.
RPC I 166 places this issue within a tightly sequenced series, the ordering of which has been revised more than once since the first RPC volume appeared in 1992.
