Tiberius and the Romanization of the Vasconia – Continuity and change in the early Principate based on a Tiberian coin type from Calagurris

Abstract

This paper intends to approach a study about the ongoing process of Romanization during the period of government of Tiberius by means of a provincial coin emission from Calagurris in the territory of the Vasconians. To achieve this objective we present an analysis of important elements shown on the coin: the imperial title on the obverse, the iconography and the two duoviri mentioned on the reverse.
