| Additional information |
Turiasu, modern Tarazona in Aragon, was one of the more prolific minting cities of the Celtiberian world, producing bronze coinage across a span that bridges the Sertorian War, Caesar's campaigns, and the final absorption of Hispania into the Augustan administrative system. The city held Latin rights under Rome, which granted its magistrates a degree of autonomy reflected in the persistence of its local issues long after neighboring mints had gone silent.
The century-long date range assigned to this type reflects genuine scholarly uncertainty rather than continuous production — output likely clustered around specific political or military moments requiring local liquidity.
