Items City of Ilici

(en) Ilici or Ilicis was an Iberian city of Contestania, identified with the site of La Alcudia de Elche. The city was founded on a hill, before the 4th century BC, dominating the Via Heraclea. This geographical situation, together with the proximity to fertile lands, it was the cause of its important development and its character as a central place. The period of greatest splendor of the city was between the 2nd and 1st centuries BC, in the years before the Second Punic War. The Romans rebuilt the city as Colonia Iulia Ilici Augusta around 42 BC. The Roman colony was made up of veterans of the army, indigenous population, and other Roman citizens coming from different areas, among which were the ancient inhabitants of the African city of Icosium. In Augustan times, a second "deductio" of veterans was carried out and the epithet of Augusta was added to the name. According to the epigraphy, the city had monumental characteristics, although there are hardly any remains, with three temples. One of them appears reflected on a coin as a tetrastylus temple in which the architrave reads "Iunoni". The mint of Ilici is related to the Roman colony. It issues currency regularly after 42 BC and remained active until the time of Tiberius. The first issue does not include the place name of the city. In Augustan times, after 15 BC, it includes the formula AVG DIVI F. The alloys are ternary with unequal proportions between the metal. However, in the time of Tiberius, coins were struck in almost pure copper. The coins record the magistracies (diunviros) and some countermarks have also been found.
