| Additional information |
Carthago Nova — modern Cartagena — was among the most productive colonial mints in Hispania during the Augustan period, and this issue falls under the magistracy of the duoviri quinquennales, officials elected every five years to conduct the colonial census and oversee municipal finances. The name Postumius Albinus in the magistrate legend connects this coin to a local administrative moment, not a Roman imperial directive. Colonial bronzes from this mint are frequently found in excavation contexts along the southeastern Spanish coast, suggesting genuine local circulation rather than hoarding.
