Channel: American Numismatic Society
Date: 15/04/2024

The coins minted by the cities of Hispania between ca. 44 BC and AD 54 are Roman provincial coins. Minted in bronze for local use, they were produced mostly by municipalities or colonies, and were a consequence of the legal transformation initiated by Julius Caesar, and continued by Augustus and Tiberius. Civic coins, as well as those issued in the provinces outside of the Iberian peninsula, played an important role in the economy of Roman provincial cities. Pere Pau Ripollès, Professor of Archaeology at the University of Valencia, will discuss these coins and their use in daily life.
