introduction:

Sekobirikez or Sekobirikes issued silver denarii and a smaller quantity of copper coins. The denarii had an average weight of about 3.6 g, slightly below the standard of the period, and their silver quality varied, generally around 80% purity. The scale of silver production suggests the coinage may have been used to finance major expenses, possibly the payment of auxiliary troops or Roman demands. Copper coinage included units and half-units of refined copper.

The designs follow common Celtiberian iconography. Denarii and copper units show a male head on the obverse and a horseman with a spear on the reverse. The smaller copper or bronze halves depict a helmeted female head inspired by Roman depictions of Roma on the obverse and a lion on the reverse.

Archaeological finds indicate that these coins circulated widely and were often deposited in hoards dating to around 100–90 BC and especially during the Sertorian Wars. Based on this evidence, the coinage of Sekobirikes is generally dated between approximately 110 and 80 BC.

Although its name resembles that of the Roman city of Segobriga , the two are not directly related.
