I have always had an Interest in the History of Rome, specifically the Imperiatorial Period and the Punic War Period. This interest was the reason I decided to collect Ancient coins. To quote (supposedly) Cato the Elder, Carthago delenda est! Carthage must be destroyed! This coin, however, survived! ZEUGITANIA. CARTHAGE. AE (CIRCA 400-350 BC)  Obv: Wreathed head of Tanit left. Rev: Horse galloping right. Condition: good very fine Weight: 5.5 gm. Diameter: 17 mm.     If anyone has any more information, please post it   |

Certainly not a cheap coin, but a great pickup.

Not cheap... But worth the cost!
Very fast shipping too... Within 12 hours!
I'm going to post my third coin (which I know little about) soon, with a guess the price style guessing game of the trio.

Sassari 56-136 Holleman Munten List 106 (1996) A few different Examples , you have Group I Large Head Calciati (1987) distinguishes also galloping and prancing horses You might be able to narrow it down if you can figure out the die rotation in hrs. I am pretty sure its a Group I large head. Siculo-Punic coin, 370/60-340/25BC horse galloping horse prancing GROUP I globular flan GROUP II globular flan class I large head, 5-7 g class I large head, 5-7 g class II smaller head class II smaller head This is the best Site I have ever found for these types of coins! http://www.magnagraecia.nl/coins/Pu...ugitana.htmlWhat I really want its the super massive 15-Shekel AE Piece a whopping 121 g. WHAT!!? Edited by Ancientnoob
