| Additional information |
Kaiskata was an Iberian settlement in the Ebro valley — identified by most scholars with the site near modern Cascante in Navarre — that began striking bronze coinage in the second century BC under the administrative framework the Romans imposed on Hispania Citerior after 197 BC. These issues were part of a broader monetization of indigenous communities, with Rome encouraging local mints to produce fractional bronze that could circulate alongside Roman Republican issues without directly competing with them.
The series is well-documented across the major Iberian corpus references, with ACIP 1682 placing it firmly in the mid-to-late second century production window.
