| Additional information |
Segovia's bronze issues from this period belong to the Celtiberian monetary tradition that flourished across the Iberian plateau during Roman Republican penetration of the peninsula. The city's coinage is associated with the indigenous script found on Celtiberian bronzes — an adapted Iberian semi-syllabic writing system the Romans never bothered to suppress, since local issues served Roman administrative needs as fractional and regional exchange currency.
ACIP 1867 is among the earlier attributed types for this mint, though the century-long date range reflects genuine uncertainty about sequencing within the series.
