Iltirta was an Iberian settlement in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula — the site of modern Lleida — and one of the more prolific bronze-issuing mints of the region during the period of Roman consolidation following the Second Punic War. Its coinage circulated alongside Roman Republican issues and served local transactional needs as Roman administrative structures gradually absorbed indigenous institutions. The quadrans denomination places this firmly within a Romanized fractional system, even as the iconographic and epigraphic conventions remained distinctly Iberian.
The ACIP reference series remains the standard classification for Iberian coinage, with FAB cross-referencing useful for die-linkage studies specific to Iltirta's output.
