I just picked up this one today. Dont know why but now I have three of them. I guess it is because they are from my area of interest and the significant history behind them. Carthago Nova Iberia, c. 237 - 206 B.C. Spain, Carthago Nova Æ Unit. Roman Occupation after 209 BC. Bare-head left (Scipio Africanus?) Horse standing right; palm tree behind. CNH Class XI, 282; SNG BM Spain 127-128; ACIP 609. Here are my other two Post up your Carthage type coins !
I like those three, @bcuda ... CARTHAGE MALE HEAD, NOT SCIPIO Carthage Zeugitana 4th-3rd C BCE Male Head Horse
Nice coins, bcuda. And that is a beautiful 1/10 stater, panzerman. Here are a couple of my Carthaginians. Both with Tanit and horse. EL Stater, circa 310-270 BC Trihemishekel, circa 203-201 BC

@SensibleSal66, your curiousity (and sheer bravery in venturing into this circle) are infectious. People who wanted to could learn from your example.
@bcuda, thank you for expanding my horizons about the Iberio-Carthingian series generally. (Yep, just made that up.) It's only now registering how profoundly it represents a continuation of the Carthaginian series (big, fat air quotes: ) 'proper.'

@Terence Cheesman, that tridrachm is why I'd collect more ancient, if I had the budget. Phenomenal example in every way.
