Its earliest phase is known through its coinage with its 2nd and 1st centuries BC issues bearing the Latin inscription Asido and also in Punic inscriptions such as &#039;sdn or b&#039;b&#039;l, with Herakles and Dolphins being notable obverse and reverse designs.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1348553[/ATTACH]</p><p>1st one:</p><p>Asido</p><p>Ancient Spain 110 BC.</p><p>Present day Medina Sidonia.</p><p>Phonecian and Punic.</p><p>Obv: Melkart head facing</p><p>forward.</p><p>Rev: Two tunny fish right</p><p>Libio-Phoenician legend</p><p>( B B L ) Semis 3.68 grams</p><p><br /></p><p>2nd one:</p><p>Asido</p><p>Ancient Spain 110 BC.</p><p>Phonecian and Punic.</p><p>Obv: Melkart head facing</p><p>forward.</p><p>Rev: Two tunny fish right</p><p>Libio-Phoenician legend</p><p>( B B L ) Semis 3.68 grams</p><p>Found by me metal detecting</p><p>in 1988 close to present day</p><p>Medina Sidonia.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next: Another coin with Melkart / Hercules facing forward[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
