jlueke Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 These are two of my acqusitions from the ANA. They are pretty scarce and hard to price because of this. Scipio Africanus is the main Roman general responsible for the defeat of Hannibal and Carthage in the 2nd punic war setting the stage for Roman dominion of the whole Mediterranean.

Scottishmoney Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 No, Carthage was an entity unto it's own. Try calling Hannibal a Roman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlueke Posted August 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Yeah, those were. So since it was struck under Roman authority can't it be called Roman? I'm sure they used the dies or die cutters that were already there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
