| Additional information |
Baitolo was an Iberian settlement on the northeastern coast of the peninsula — modern Badalona, just north of Barcelona — that issued bronze coinage during the late second century BC, almost certainly under Roman administrative tolerance rather than full autonomy. These issues belong to a broader pattern of Iberian civic bronzes produced after the Roman conquest of Hispania Citerior, when local communities were permitted limited monetary activity to facilitate regional exchange. The precise trigger for Baitolo's coinage remains debated; no literary source names the city in connection with any specific grant of minting rights.
