Lotto 450:
Augustus (27 BC - 14 AD) . P. Carisius moneyer. AR Denarius, Emerita mint, c. 25-23 BC. Obv. IMP CAESAR – AVGVST. Bare head right. Rev. P CARISIVS LEG PRO P R. Helmet between dagger and bipennis. RIC I (2nd ed.) 7a; C. 405. AR. 3.54 g. 20.50 mm. Interesting and fascinating type. Flan crack at six o'clock, otherwise. VF. The Roman conquest of the Iberian Peninsula took two centuries, from the first landing at Emporion in 218 BC during the Second Punic War until the final conquest of the remaining holdouts in northwestern Spain under Augustus in 19 BC. The reverse of this coin shows the common armament of the Celtiberian warrior, who were extremely skilled in light arms, especially the short sword or dagger and the bipennis, a sort of small double-headed axe.
