References most often identify this type as Punic, struck before 209 B.C., but they also note that the head is &quot;Roman style.&quot; Some authorities believe, that this type may have been struck after 209, under Roman rule. Carthaginian coins sometimes depicted Barcid generals. This coin possibly depicts the Roman general Scipio Africanus.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Large coin </p><p>Carthago Nova ,</p><p>209 - 205 B.C.</p><p>Ancient Spain, Æ Unit.</p><p>Roman Occupation after 209</p><p>BC.
