    Yeah, i like these issues for a few cool reverses possible like Carthage. My favorite is Moneta, goddess of money. How could we not love a coin like that? :D

    Definitely a nice coin. I don't have a Roman Carthage mint coin yet.

    I've always liken the Carthage pose as a shrug, like "I don't know, man"
