[QUOTE="Harry G, post: 7939056, member: 105282"]Hi all! I was browsing eBay a few days ago, and managed to score myself [I]another [/I]antoninianus of Mariniana - this one for £25. It's not as nice as the other one I bought for £8 recently, but I felt it was worth the price. [ATTACH=full]1373728[/ATTACH] Before paying, I checked the other coins that the seller had for sale, and saw this rather nice looking coin from Carthage. It is in rather nice condition, although it does have quite a bit of corrosion - particularly on the reverse. The seller accepted my offer of £20 for it [ATTACH=full]1373729[/ATTACH] I know almost nothing about these, so am curious to see how I did. Also, if anyone has any more precise attribution, I would welcome hearing it (all I know is that it has Tanit facing left on the obverse, and a horse head on the reverse, and that it is from Zeugitana) It is quite chunky, and is 29mm in diameter, and weighs 15.41g. Thanks![/QUOTE]
