ifchuz/343Note: On the ancient Iberian city of Saltuie founded Augusto, around 14 BC, the Caesaraugusta colony. Thus, after two centuries, the Roman expansion over the Iberian Peninsula. Rome will dominate in Hispania. This denario reflects a military and imperial iconography, through the bust of Emperor Augustus and the shield with legend Senatus Populusque Romanus / Clypeus Votivus, typical of the coins that from Caesaraugusta were issued.
