Carmo was an ancient city of Turdetania, cited by Strabo and Ptolemy as Carmonia and successor to the indigenous Iberian and colonial city of Karmo. It is identified with the current population of Carmona in Seville. The city was located on a strategic place in the southern area of the Guadalquivir.
The Roman Republic conquered and occupied territories in the Iberian Peninsula that were previously under the control of native Celtic, Iberian, Celtiberian and Aquitanian tribes and the Carthaginian Empire. The Carthaginian territories in the south and east of the peninsula were conquered in 206 BC during the Second Punic War. Control was gradually extended over most of the peninsula without annexations. It was completed after the end of the Roman Republic (27 BC), by Augustus, the first Roman emperor, who annexed the whole of the peninsula to the Roman Empire in 19 BC.
The coin is a great addition to any collection of ancient coins.
