<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2280490, member: 76194&quot;]This one is also a Joel L. Marter coin, purchased by them in 1975. I still don&#039;t know if it lists who owned it before, like yours. I have&#039;t received it yet, but I&#039;ve been told it comes with the ticket similar to yours. Maybe it came from the same collection?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]455662[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This one was minted only a few months after the end of the Third Punic War, around the time the veterans would have been getting home and settling in. Although people don&#039;t know why the wild ass is behind Roma, I&#039;d like to think it&#039;s a pun against the Carthaginians, because as you know Carthage was symbolized by a horse, and here is this silly wild ass right behind Roma, almost in a comedic fashion, appearing on a Roman denarii just shortly after the completion of the Third Punic War.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I will take a picture of the ticket when I get it. Wouldn&#039;t it be something if it all came out of the same collection originally, yours and mine? We already share Joel L. Marter in common for both, if we also shared the previous owner that would be mind blowing. I will update this as soon as I get the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
