<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brian Bucklan, post: 2421728, member: 76544&quot;]When I first saw these coins in a small lot I bought a while back I thought they were odd Spanish mint types due to the one word, HISPANORVM, on the reverse. After some research it turns out that these were later issues of Morgantina Sicily. The Greek city had sided with Syracuse against the Romans in the second Punic Wars, and was given over by the Romans to the Spanish cavalry to sack (hence the Spanish reference on the coin). What&#039;s really interesting is that coins with this reverse inscription have only been found at the site of this city.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]501919[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]501920[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
