<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nathan P, post: 4674467, member: 99051&quot;]So, I recently won this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1151678[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Campania, Cales Bronze circa 265-260, Æ 23mm., 6.52g. Head of Athena l., wearing Corinthian helmet. Rev. Cock standing r.; in l. field, star. Sambon 916. Historia Numorum Italy 435.</p><p><br /></p><p>My questions are, 1) Why are the coins of Campania, Cales almost uniformly confined to no earlier than 265 BC (and usually no later than 240 BC, though that&#039;s not true for the coin above)? - I can&#039;t really find anything that would pinpoint 265 BC as being so critically important. 2) What is the significance, if any, of the rooster which was so common with this area&#039;s coinage?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
