FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3447 Posts	Posted 07/04/2015 07:14 am North Africa 'Numidia' Micipsa 2nd century BC Numidia was a Roman ally in the 3rd Punic War and rose in prominence after the elimination of Carthage as a competitor. The coin is in rough shape but does have a something stamped on the horse which adds some interest. Where did you find it ? Report this Post to the Staff

I looked up the counterstamp, it is apparently of Ammon, a god (A survivor from the Egyptian Amun, the greeks called him Zeus Ammon). Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3447 Posts	Posted 07/04/2015 07:53 am I believe that Numidia as reward for her service was the beneficiary of Roman "foreign aid". The rather impressive bronze coins of Micipsa were no doubt a part of the package. Probably recycled Carthaginian bronzes used to advertise the new regime in charge of the western portion of N Africa. Report this Post to the Staff
