<p>[QUOTE="Ocatarinetabellatchitchix, post: 5392203, member: 99554"]Very good question. The most important Iberian mint for this period is <i>usually assumed </i>to be Tarraco, probably because it has been the place of residence for both Augustus and Galba. The paper written by H.Mattingly 100 years ago (The mints of the Early Empire) has never been really questioned. But one thing I learned when doing research about Tarraco: until an article published in 1903 by Monti and Laffranchi, the mysterious "T" workshop ( 293-312 AD) was assumed to be Tarraco; but now it has been proved without a doubt that the mint was in fact Ticinium in Italy. Like you said, someone should probably analyze the question again under the light of the newest archaeological discoveries and hoards found in the last decades.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
