<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 3444022, member: 51347&quot;]Thank you so much for the wonderful research!</p><p><br /></p><p>Because of the incredibly terrible times for Carthage at this time by losing the 1st Punic War with Rome, then forced to paying huge indemnities, which resulted in them not being able to pay their huge Mercenary army. Carthage SCRAMBLED to get ANY monies and precious metals to finance Carthage, the Indemnities to Rome, and to hard-scrabble an Army together to stop the horrible Mercenary War. This may explain overstrike over overstrikes in this (and other) coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>That war was probably one if the more atrocious, cruel, and inhumane War in our History. It is a shame that the Carthage history has been overlooked and lost. It would be akin to a World Superpower TODAY being obliterated, anahiliated, exterminated, and having their history virtually erased.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
