Description: This is an extremely rare ancient post Punic War Iberian coin that dates back to 100 BC to 1 BC. The coin features the image of Saturn on the obverse and the prow of a ship, along with the word Roma on the reverse. This coin was minted 2,100 years ago by the Celtic Iberians in imitation of a Roman Republic coin. The Iberian peninsula has long been inhabited, before the Roman conquest. During the 1st millennium BC, in the Bronze Age, the first wave of migrations into Iberia of speakers of Indo-European languages occurred. These were later (7th and 5th centuries BC) followed by others that can be identified as Celts. Eventually urban cultures developed in southern Iberia, such as Tartessos, influenced by the Phoenician colonization of coastal Mediterranean Iberia, with strong competition from the Greek colonization. These two processes defined Iberia's cultural landscape – Mediterranean towards the southeast and Continental in the northwest. The Celtiberians were a group of Celts and Celticized peoples inhabiting the central-eastern Iberian Peninsula during the final centuries BC. These tribes spoke the Celtiberian language and wrote it by adapting the Iberian alphabet, in the form of the Celtiberian script. This coin is a must-have for collectors of ancient coins, especially those interested in Roman history. It is a very unique addition to any collection and is sure to impress. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own a piece of history. 1870
