In the 1980s, at Encinasola, Huelva, three inscribed sling bullets were discovered.They bore the praenomen and the nomen of Quintus Sertorius, the commander wholed a revolt in Hispania against the Sullan regime in the 70s B.C., accompanied bythe term proco(n)s(ul). Following other authors, in this article I will defend the viewthat Sertorius possessed a proconsular imperium as ex-praetor of the Cinnangovernment prior to the Sullan dictatorship, and that Sertorius was appointedmagistrate of the two provinces of Hispania, and not only of the Citerior as has beenheld on occasion. Finally, I will explain how the legitimising message that theSertorian side projected through the epigraphical field was based on the idea that itsleader, in spite of the proscription decreed by Sulla, was the legitimate magistrate ofthe provinces Ulterior and Citerior.
