SEGOVIA (Segovia). As. (Ae. 9.33g / 25mm). 30-20 BC Anv: Head of Augustus on the right, on both sides CL. Rev: Rider with spear to the right, below legend: SEGOVIA. (FAB-2193). VF. Very rare and beautiful specimen. Dark patina.

City belonging to the Arévacos and strategically located on the route between Emerita and Caesaraugusta, whose Segovia inscription leaves no doubt about the location of this city, which emits a single emission of Iberian metric, on the obverse of which we can see a male head between the Latin letters C and L. On the reverse the protagonism is, once again, for the spear rider. It is probable that this emission coincides in time with those of Secobris (Segobriga) and that of Conterbia Cárbica.

TAMUSIENS (Southwest area of the peninsula). As. (Ae. 28.66g / 32mm). 50 BC Anv: Male head to the right, in front of the dolphin, behind the Iberian letters TaM. Rev: Ship with rowers, above legend: TAMVSIENSI. (FAB-2263). XF. Very rare for this mint.

A ship with rowers on the reverse and a Latin writing on it with the name of Tamusia are the most outstanding characteristics of these Extremaduran coinage. Male head and the Iberian letters TaM on the obverse complete some certainly scarce coins. These mints are intermixed with others of the Celtibera spear rider type, which although the legend Tanusia could also refer to the same mint. The metric of its coins responds to the 25 gram pattern, and therefore, the metric of the Roman ace in use in the middle of the second century BC.

Regardless of the double theory that places this city either in Extremadura or in the current province of Cádiz, we are talking about units of copper with a standard between 22 and 24 grams and that for this same reason, by the metric of ten aces per denarius , we chronologically go to the first half of the 1st century BC They are coinage, therefore, late and that represents on its obverse what in all probability is the goddess Tanit (other sources speak of a male face) surrounded by plant elements, generally vine, while on the reverse the double legend in Latin and Libyan-Phoenician stands out.
