Ancient Iberian Coinage - Museo Prehistoria

In the colonies, the designs referred to
another cultural horizon. In them, types
with Roman symbolism and without
connection to the previous indigenous
iconography of their surroundings were
used. They alluded to the origin of the
settled population, in the case of veterans
by means of legionary standards; to the
Roman ritual of colonization;
to the symbols of the
Roman religion; to the
imperial cult, with the
election of altars and
temples; and to dynastic
themes, influenced by
the Roman issues and
the political context of
the time.
