<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Homer2, post: 24879792, member: 147282&quot;]I won these at the end of last year and they arrived this week. Working on acquiring coinage around the Second Punic War time-frame, and wanted some of the AE Uncia coins from the period, as many RR collections focus on AR Denarii after 211.</p><p><br /></p><p>These were very affordable for Republic coins of the third century and happy to have some good examples. I especially am attracted to the galley prows on coinage as power symbols, even if Carthage was generally the superior maritime power for the period. Their coins featured horses instead of the galleys. </p><p><br /></p><p>Pics are from the auction as I just got these.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1597376[/ATTACH]</p><p>Æ Uncia (20,8mm, 6.07g) Anonymous.
