Historical background
HISPANIA - SPAIN - IBERICO - KESE (Province of Tarragona)
(2nd century BC)
The Iberian coins of Taragonna, a city located on the northeast coast of Spain, have two different epigraphies; CESE or KESE and CESSE. The Iberian legend relates to the people who lived there while the Latin legend TARRACO presumably relates to the town itself. The bronze coins are minted there shortly after 211 BC. The silver coins would only be from the 1st century.
