<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 2349238, member: 75525&quot;]Nice didrachm!</p><p>My favorite is an Iberian (Roman Republican Provincial) that could be the first living Roman on a coin. In 211 Publius Cornelius Scipio&#039;s father and uncle were killed in Spain. He went to Spain as a young man because others wanted to stay in Italy and fight there. He was able to take New Carthage (Cartagonova) and coins from there changed from having an Iberian or Carthaginian head to a Roman head. Some attribute this coin to Scipio.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]478126[/ATTACH]</p><p>This description is from the seller&#039;s web site, so use google translate if you</p><p>yo no hablo español:</p><p>CELTIBÉRICAS e HISPANO ROMANAS; CARTAGONOVA.
