Regarding the silver issues, although some could be struck for local purposes (e.g. Arse, Iltirta, Ausesken, Kese), a good part was minted in Celtiberian cities and the Pyrenean area (Bolskan, Arsaos, Sekobirikez, Arekorata or Turiazu). They were more likely originated in a military context (to pay auxiliary troops), than struck to cover Roman regular fiscal taxes. Kese Ca. 180-150 BC Denarius 3.86 g - 19 mm Arsaos Late 2nd century BC Denarius 3.78 g - 19 mm Bolskan Late 2nd century BC Denarius 3.83 g - 19 mm 30
Turiazu Ca. 100 BC Denarius 3.83 g - 19 mm 400 200 AR AE Number of obverse dies used for silver and bronze issues of Turiazu Turiazu 2nd-1st century BC Unit 3.78 g - 19 mm Most of the mints that coined huge amounts of silver were inland and struck a reduced amount of bronze (units and fractions), which suggests that they were not minted for local purposes, as was the case of Turiazu, where for denarii about 400 obverse dies were used, whereas for all bronze denominations only 30 have been identified. The civic coinages were used all around the Iberian Peninsula without any type of restriction; the findings in the cities correspond to issues coming from the neighbouring cities or from places that struck a huge volume, providing the greatest amount of bronze coinage that Iberians used. To a lesser extent, we also found the Iberian Issues in North Africa and in Gaul. 31
