[QUOTE="bcuda, post: 4181261, member: 105389"]Nice quadrans I only have one and it is from the time of Claudius. Here are my two coins that are the same. [ATTACH=full]1075297[/ATTACH] Asido Ancient Spain 110 BC. Phonecian and Punic. Obv: Melkart head facing forward. Rev: Two tunny fish right Libio-Phoenician legend ( B B L ) Semis Second in pic found by me metal detecting around 1988 close to present day Medina Sidonia Spain. First one in pic I just could not pass it up because of how much I liked the first one and purchased it in 2019. A very difficult to find coin, If I were to find another I would probably buy it also. Asido, an Iberian settlement which may have been founded by the Phoenicians, hence the later City name Sidonia reflecting its foundation by Sidon. Its earliest phase is known through its coinage and its 2nd and 1st centuries BC issues bear the Latin inscription Asido but also Punic inscriptions such as 'sdn or b'b'l, with Herakles and Dolphins being notable obverse and reverse designs.[/QUOTE]
