Monedas de la ceca de "Malaca" procedentes de Suel (Fuengirola, Málaga)

Abstract

We analyse the coins minted in the ancient Phoenician colony of Malaca and discovered in the city of Suel, which can be located in the Cerro del Castillo of the Malaga town of Fuengirola. With a chronology including the last decades of the 3rd century until the final years of the 1st century BC, this set consists of 66 coins, most of them unpublished, which include the totality of Malaca emissions, as well as all the denominations coined in this city. We can also add to them another eight coins from different sites of its ager, one of them not published until now. This study allows us to verify that these findings follow the general tone established for this mint not only in Malaca itself but also within other settlements, thus contributing to increase the volume of coins from the Malaca mint known up to now.
