Sejanus, Pretorian Prefect of Tiberius, Damnatio Memoriae, Bibilis, Spain, 31 A.D.
| Under Augustus, Bilbilis was given the status of Municipium becoming Augusta Bilbilis and thus enjoyed many privileges under Roman law, including bestowing Roman citizenship on all its inhabitants. Coins were minted in the city under Augustus, Tiberius and Caligula with "Augusta Bilbilis" on the reverse along with the governor's name. One type struck under Tiberius, named Lucius Aelius Sejanus as consul on the reverse. The town must have flourished with Sejanus as benefactor, but was ultimately hurt with his demise when he was proved to be a traitor. All Sejanus' statues and monuments were subject to "damnatio memoriae." His name was even removed from coins, as seen on this example. |  |

Caligula, 16 March 37 - 24 January 41 A.D.
Although the style of coinage struck at Western branch mints is different from coins struck at Rome, references and sales listings often attribute them to Rome. This Caligula type is extremely rare. Nearly all were probably overstruck by Claudius. None of the hundreds of Caligula asses on Coin Archives share this Western branch style.SH72086. Copper as, cf. RIC I 38, Cohen I 27, BMCRE I p. 154, 46, SRCV I 1803 (all Rome mint), NGC Ch VF, strike 5/5, surface 4/5 (4162104-002), removed from slab but NGC tag included, weight 11.111 g, maximum diameter 27.2 mm, die axis 270o, 'Western Branch' mint, 37 - 38 A.D.; obverse C CAESAR AVG GERMANICVS PON M TR POT, bare head left; reverse VESTA, Vesta enthroned left, patera extended in right, long scepter transverse in left, S - C (senatus consulto) flanking across field; NGC| Lookup; extremely rare; SOLD
Caligula, 16 March 37 - 24 January 41 A.D., Caesaraugusta, Hispania Tarraconensis
Caesaraugusta is today Zaragoza, Spain. It began as Salduie, a village settled by the Sedetani, an Iberian tribe. Augustus founded Caesaraugusta on the site to settle army veterans from the Cantabrian wars. The city did not decline significantly during the last centuries of the Roman Empire and was captured peacefully by the Goths in the 5th century.SH58654.

Caligula, 16 March 37 - 24 January 41 A.D., Carthago Nova, Hispania Tarraconensis
In older references the bust of Salus is identified as that of Caesonia, 4th wife of Caligula. The female bust has also been identified as Antonia by Grant and Livia by Etienne. Beltran identifies Salus as the tutelary goddess of Carthago Nova and does not link the features to any member of the royal family.

Augustus, 16 January 27 B.C. - 19 August 14 A.D.,Ebora, Hispania Lusitania
Ebora (Evora Portugal today) was conquered by Rome in 57 B.C. Julius Caesar called it Liberalitas Julia (Julian generosity). A flourishing city at the junction of several important routes, Pliny the Elder visited Ebora during his travels through Gaul and Lusitania and mentioned it in his book Naturalis Historia. A monumental Corinthian temple in the center of town dates from the first century. Ebora fell under the rule of the Visigothic king Leovirgild in 584. RP62930. Bronze AE 26, RPC I 51, SNG Cop 397, F, weight 9.879 g, maximum diameter 26.2 mm, die axis 180o, Ebora (Evora, Portugal) mint, obverse AVG P M PERM CAES, bare head left; reverse LIBERALITATIS IVLIAE EBOR, inscription in four lines within wreath; potentially active corrosion; rare; SOLD
Caligula, 16 March 37 - 24 January 41 A.D., Segobriga, Hispania Tarraconensis
Segobriga is a former Roman city near Saelices, in the province of Cuenca in Spain. It is possibly one of the most important archaeological sites of the Spanish Meseta. The name Segóbriga derives from two words: "Sego" meaning victory and "briga" meaning city fortress. The translation would be "City of the Victory" or "Victorious City." The site includes an amphitheatre, theater, the city walls and gates, two thermal buildings or Roman baths, and the Forum. There is also a necropolis, and the circus (Roman race track) is being excavated - its outline can be seen from the top of the hill.SH79771.
