Message:: [QUOTE="Orielensis, post: 4278027, member: 96898"]Alright, this could become a voluminous thread. Here are some horses we haven't had yet: Carthaginian horse overstruck on top of another horse:[ATTACH=full]1088835[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1088836[/ATTACH]Carthage, AE17, late 4th or early 3rd c. BC, Sicilian mint. Obv: male head r., flanked by grain ears. Rev: galloping horse r. 17mm, 3.59g. Ref: MAA 19; SNG Copenhagen (Africa) 120; Sylloge Numorum Punicorum 128. Struck over MAA 18; Sylloge Nummorum Punicorum 194 (head of Tanit/horse standing in front of palm tree). Numidian horse:[ATTACH=full]1088837[/ATTACH] Kings of Numidia, Massinissas or Micipsa, ca. 203–118 BC, AE31. Obv: head of king (?), laureate, l. Rev: horse galloping l.; below, pellet. 31mm, 20.15g. Ref: SNG Copenhagen 505–7; MAA 18a. I guess the Kentucky Derby is cancelled this year, isn't it? Otherwise, we would have seen many of these horses:[ATTACH=full]1088838[/ATTACH] Roman Republic, moneyer: L. Calpurnius Piso Frugi, AR denarius, 90 BC, Rome mint.

I usually refrain from posting anything post 1500 in the ancients forum, but I couldn't resist adding a destrier in full armour and caparison to this thread. Forgive me, please![ATTACH=full]1088833[/ATTACH] County of Mansfeld-Eisleben, Johann Georg III, AR ⅓ Taler, 1669 AD, Eisleben mint. Obv:   (anchor) IOHAN. GEORG. COM. IN. MANSFELT.
