Hansen[ATTACH=full]1302645[/ATTACH]What sets this image apart is the magnificent image of Arethusa on the obverse. This is a very close homage to the marvelous images created by Euainetos which was created at least a half century before at Syracuse. It is interesting that the Carthaginians used an image created by their rivals for the obverse of their coins. Despite this being a copy it lacks the stiffness that so many copies have. it is clear that the celator in this case understood what he was needed to do and succeeded. The image has a great deal of charm and grace as does the reverse. Despite the flan flaw this is still a great coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
