This conflict, known as the Truceless War (240-238 B.C.), resulted in the rise of Hamilcar Barca to prominence and provided a Roman&nbsp; for intervening in Sardinia. Hamilcar&#039;s son, Hannibal, would later raise the banner of war and come close to destroying Rome in the Second Punic War (218-201 B.C.)</p><p><i>Ex: Triskeles</i></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b><i><font size="6"><span style="color: #b30000">Please post your coins that represent 2 Units OR 1/2 of a Denomination.</span></font></i></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
