Notes: The Spain, Segunto AE Sextans is a rare mid-2nd century BCE bronze coin minted in the city of Arse (modern-day Sagunto). It is distinguished by its maritime iconography, typically featuring a scallop shell on the obverse and a dolphin on the reverse. Historically, the city of Sagunto is famous for its siege by Hannibal in 219 BCE, which triggered the Second Punic War.
