<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3612920, member: 19463"]Question for our Carthage specialists: Are the various poses seen on these horses significant in identifying the denomination or do they have any other significance (date period, workshop?)? Given a number of photos of coins with no size/weight data, how easily would a skilled student be able to sort them by size? The coin below is 27mm, 17.17g. Is that surprising or did you know that when you saw the photo? Perhaps someone would favor the beginners among us with a summery of what we see when looking at various horses from Carthage. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]967583[/ATTACH] </p><p>AE20 5.0g sold as 'Sardinian'</p><p>[ATTACH=full]967593[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
