<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 2592660, member: 51347&quot;]Thank you.&nbsp; And YOUR Titus Quinarius is fantastic!&nbsp; I agree, I have captured more Quinarii over the last couple years than I ever had.&nbsp; They are great little coins!</p><p><br /></p><p>I captured the coins from <b><i>Capua </i></b>for their unique history (and the Stefanelli provenance secured my confidence in them):&nbsp; <i>The Capua coins from the 2nd Punic War are fairly scarce. Capua was the leading city in Campania, subject to Rome. During the 2nd Punic War Hannibal occupied Capua for several years. He promised their aristocracy that should he win the war with Rome, he would make CAPUA the Capital of Italia and raze Rome. However, Rome WON. Subsequently, Rome recalled as much of the Capuan currency they could find and melted it down so that there were no trace of Hannibal or Capua&#039;s status.</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
