Two of the important Roman (Scipio) / Carthaginian (Hannibal) battles that were in Spain during the second punic war were the battle of Ilipa and Castulo. Here is a pic of my coin from Ilipense where the battle of Ilipa was And one from the battle of Castulo. One of my many Castulo coins.

WAY COOL, and WELL DONE, @bcuda ! Out of all my Carthage collection, I have none with a portrait bust of Hannibal. Bummer for me. I am kinda waiting for the right one, but I am getting a little impatient with myself! Here is one from when he was occupying Capua, and had promised to make Capua the capital of Italia when he destroyed the Romans... oops, plans were busted. And the Romans destroyed a lot of these coins making them pretty difficult to find. Campania CAPUA AE Semuncia 216-211 BCE Juno Xoanon Hannibal capital Italia SCARCE
