| Additional information |
Caesaraugusta — modern Zaragoza — was a Roman colony founded by Augustus along the Ebro, and its municipal magistrates took the privilege of local bronze coinage seriously. The duoviri named on this issue, T. Caecilius Lepidus and C. Aufidius Gemellus, held office during the reign of Tiberius, a period when the imperial mint in Rome had effectively abandoned regular bronze production — a gap that left provincial and colonial issues as the primary small-change circulating across Hispania.
The colony struck under its abbreviation CCA, Colonia Caesar Augusta, with magistrate-named issues serving as much as civic advertisement as functional currency.
