Crawford 25/1 6.49 grms 19 mm[ATTACH=full]1291662[/ATTACH] This coin still retains its find patina. If the dating is correct this coin was minted just at the end of the first titanic struggle with Carthage for control of the western Mediterranean. Perhaps the image of the young Mars is a hint at the confidence of the new regional power that had just emerged.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
