ICALCUSCEN (Iniesta, Cuenca). Denarius. (Ar. 3.45g/20mm). 120-20 BC (FAB-1396 var). Obv: Male head right. Rev: Rider with buckler and chlamys leading a second horse to the left, below double Iberian legend: ICaLCuSCeN. Almost Extremely Fine. Very rare and probably unpublished legend variant. Two horses and a single rider who carries, instead of the traditional palm, a caetra (typical Celtic shield) are the most characteristic elements of these pieces whose representation has traditionally been attributed to the Dioscuri. A rider who always rides to the left showing the shield while with the right hand he guides the other horse. The large number of denarii minted under this mint responds to its prolonged minting throughout the 2nd century BC with the aim of defraying the payments of the troops that fought the continuous Lusitanian and Celtiberian revolts.
