The moneyer is probably alluding to two events in his family history that relate to the province of Hispania. In 180 BC the proconsul L. Postumius Albinus won a victory over the Vaccaei and Lusitani, for which he was awarded a triumph. In 151 BC the consul A. Albinus called for special levies to confront another Spanish insurgency.
