<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 7884394, member: 86498&quot;]Roman Ae As from a South Italian Mint after 211 BC, Obv Head of Janus Mark of value above. Rv prow right Mark of value above. Crawford 56/2 McCabe C3 As 2 This coin illustrated 42,53 grams 34 MM Photo by W. Hansen[ATTACH=full]1359893[/ATTACH] The reverse on this coin does show a ram with three blades though they are depicted as being rather small. It does not surprise me that by the time the Battle of the Aegates was fought that the Carthaginian rams were inferior to those of the Romans. Carthage had already lost a number of engagements at sea, and a number of sources do indicate that this Carthaginian fleet had been assembled in some haste.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
