| Additional information |
Ercavica, a municipium in Hispania Citerior near modern Cañaveruelas, struck coins under Augustus and continued through Caligula's reign — one of the last Iberian municipal mints still operating before the province-wide cessation of local bronze coinage under Claudius. The duoviri named in the legend, L. Cracile and a colleague, were local magistrates whose names appear on coin issues as a form of civic accountability, a practice inherited from the Roman republican tradition of magistrate-signed currency.
Ercavica's mint output was modest, and semisses from this reign are appreciably scarcer than the as denominations from the same civic series.
