ILICI (Elche, Alicante). As. (Ae. 11.33g/28mm). AD 14-36 (FAB-1522). Obv: Head of Tiberius to left, around legend: TI CAESAR DIVI AVG F AVGVSTVS P M. Rev: Ara with inscription: SAL AVG, on both sides: CI/IA, around legend: M IVLIVS SETTAL L SESTI CELER II VIR. Good Very Fine. Fields slightly lowered. Scarce specimen. The mints of this mint of contestan origin are reduced to aces and semises of Roman metric and exclusively from the time of Augustus and Tiberius. Although smaller in volume and with much fewer types, they are mintages very parallel to those of Cartagonova. The representation on the back of a tetrastyle temple dedicated to the goddess Juno, a Roman assimilation of the Carthaginian Tanit, is very characteristic.
