<p>[QUOTE=&quot;akeady, post: 3575416, member: 83175&quot;]Here&#039;s a little sextans, overstruck on a Carthaginian coin (remnants of horse on obverse). From a lot of three overstruck coins - the seller&#039;s description was: Æ Sextans (17mm, 2.78g, 7h). Head of Mercury right, wearing winged petasus; • • (mark of value) above / Prow of galley right; •• (mark of value) below. Crawford 69/6 var. (with corn-ear and KA); Sydenham 310d var. (same); RBW 293 var. (same).</p><p>And &quot;The obverse of the sextans shows a bent horse’s leg and is likely a bronze assigned to the mint of Carthage of similar Tanit/Horse type, but with a bent foreleg&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/TwHBeGH5OEB7u9dOlEgxYewOYv8673xeFvNEegVNjIe8ZDZhgPLF5xsueIsGuM3PdqhmhUcsbr-9woTQNU9gBXkTPDMG3r-Dbi_5u7ek74KquCHyB2YCK85VbRKRrSpepjBrloqQRSwZ9IEhkAZNJ_ZEyEIKUoNdFodHYqGLLo_azeHQsBxPBiwzT6bPORAGzFBBpHBR1XP2q2noEezzj_VOxzStIWy6HVWi9S5eviG0amVcF_q1a0bjz4nGuAIYr3h0gHkzH7Bv7morn1Qy0i3GQ4ZeH0BzyVUGDVSi40SV3SjpqsH4liZ7f6DiGIScZl-1M1rxjg4r0Aw8wfIrwqpkMP4oct1gzckZ5aqzLjJF-QKCAV6x4az_5kjzs4XNvUxnlT6JYnCie5j01P-LhrbXlljJscBRw2KtKI_DE-gzDoKrHnb1cqUEEUfxxp8JIjZsCJfoGCeEKhG1r5NTQyYrvopSxeT3jQ_RZ3oVCjdI4jxxZ3jkXbko3K5Dizx52H2Gb0SvG8iCXnYwXHNAIHluwUE-CPEg8CCPTivuutOkbrX0JBNVWg9x3XBR28tihEuUI6JH6ysI4splkCMGZkeyUNPRGDp3y4ZM5C5k34Kf78XvjRtXM--DIQFP8eSDd8uFh4TX9YXR_tffT_poiCWwmMplQ71U=w714-h778-no" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/oOqjIKlXXZb7mloD_aPM-7xXDfa7EUN9sxYBJ6_41MkkT9Ivg2L0a-7MxrGv3xXV0AwMad9MeFX2twY2RrfVDYsUsxBDY1nvcBRsMQBo1Q4tcoqg-BDzd6sIjlymN9RzPfNTfbc7E8mUJC1QsfZtJuL1LnEpRT6j-s_N-6V03qNlkm-YSLbDQTbrdElkwsH5bFgoaytHCgLg90tw3WGmlcgnZWFrWRp9CIQOWAU1vLD1SwzAzcEo2LH1bQGwmD1SAOrki1oM_fLsRzaAzpuzvvqhkPGVFcg1TjSF5OrtTsOZDimF-51TmoQeQbwMLc9e50T2AgzP7Eo7dmJdmYH3yW_8pWqqmVqPNepke7tjL6JL18x3JJ4kwlDV8w5sIxCMarUB3jjhhXq-3adDEGpi5JKl6DWl82VdMQXVkf50wVhlknQ7GfcssV1yXH1ZBV7vFl71eHmfujd4B5TbzJprdZYBUdxj7hXa8LFnoaLt1vj7lJYafK9izC_cP6TjDwcoznxk6LSD6-3q-uff-RxF8HSXTGmjWJPH65kHo1UmXo22dKvoWjPwERMh78g-7r9dsdrnhDYbdRLvlqolChh0vWfrBTVRLgM0qzTozqpQj73QxTpPGSibaAsmSMOSYtg3YC7TdAUvB_ybuhTYw32sVGKcAN_lQeJ7=w702-h778-no" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>If that wasn&#039;t completely identifiable, this quadrans is definitely overstruck on a Carthaginian coin with Tanit &amp; horse (the wavy lines on the reverse being from the horse&#039;s mane):</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-adXD4EFmhiyVdJ_dWBAdLRPV6WEfBmzKvp1it_AqLqwpRBio_e6YVh11HY9fDhGWzXUHd6Ge08PtFfsOu73pSn0y0DTygHSsFN9uq0qnb9pGpkl09N3_Ywnw93R4L59JbR0ZPE9qVUAO0lVKib7Zpm5Jvye1TDQ0hgEJFOIkkX4VEg4gJ_pSS_p4QXBFyrXXasJQqep4CeC189M4ELclgk37T1SWtqNs094sRRSeokm6RkTndJtJ2ahqAZtkW69AS15eZDNBCH_wwPek0NacZJWk0dlfyEuyiCglPXQUkpP8VFf3tmPfvT9cnUjgxr755i_aGS0yDGKRwUW5brNDlFy2yuv7rbRzGluur-uYBkSSXnOZBCYGMNXicNncOz6z_oWGUwYSjsKKs3Ac7D5ajSsn94nORrLs_43utz_KupGeBGl7CEx2xUX2qJp-PfI1ikqIUhlhLgfpdyY5rd2SsedQllADE9AaYG6esldu6xGYNsAd4f4oatSG_tpgOjTRJnMcW7Rb1HuOp6GU2Cc8hle1UoAn2PhKLyhpzbknDRCd_yG-XlqqioLnZEyhHSAp46b9mU-4KsNlf5ak8Rj04l1U2tmBOAZ3rcYJXCkAAjlUiLMk2oAKGDT10Qk27TIuJWtehbFO8lLtSj4RX-o0CZms4T03EsY=w750-h778-no" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/mYmvs-5KuJNef_byMZPF9aIxNjvTFGLZDZ2t7NrY21eKxuFl_wohOMpWe0Q2c36j2Ijv2pcMy3QF37QPV-k4V5I3hIkyigZh4P3jRHYkZFjCvHOf9yCwS1y6Y3LOlZ4rjpcaST3-8UpTufSS-_wENrI9WwhIeL6hjVFjszLQdygJQedyaDdo-Si1VfREfkCyelmsqmXSEkt-KbLwP4vKcMwN0Czh5gFl2AZbQAOFFYDfI1hLPM3vIs-0jc7gpAkErInP80OcNU6XycMfggua0MeNSPBjefJHpQb92_jKJ05sOKLZ2hx35K74-J7SA79n5AMxJpin45CNc_Fd9xkUxvOvTMHz2oE4BZAFaiA6x8VoRZEbLAbPwNf2U7PRcLW2mt7Q2sr2R4zWP0V8fxlqcOkdNLcrc5yXYlfpYp5CV-YlbCnqXSKPwvwCsKp0rgukj0M5NHPW-zhcyJeNCpTxyY6yB0OESwCIwA1f5gEp27y89neV7lKroh5OAjSe-B32XO3vwlZL5u4dw1P5Tm5FwLCXeOIAvp4mDiaE0n16cwsn04ucDHlCIHSE4CXOeTQSvHXsV1dvpOjLUzAncEMU8K-DiHp3BdCmsgwmk5T8OlC8lEDRnmLj16zqnSRTP45rwhMRMB-eXNJFaAdv6M5LFX4oBJcRzof6=w764-h778-no" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Next - another Roman Republican bronze.</b></p><p><br /></p><p>ATB,</p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
