<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 2472141, member: 75525&quot;]Last weekend, I picked up an interesting coin that was issued by a Roman Questor, MNACILI, in Panormus, Sicily. The coin is dated around the end of the first Punic War, after 241BC. I will post the coin when it arrives. I bought the coin because a Roman victory at Panormous in the first Punic War led to a triumph in Rome by Metellus of captured elephants. Like the one on my favorite coin -</p><p>[ATTACH=full]520271[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The MNACILI coin is not listed in my RR books (including Crawford&#039;s book on money in the provinces) or any of my limited Greek coin books (HNI, SEAR, etc). The auction company gave Corpus Nummorum Siculorum: La Monetazione di Bronzo. 3 vols, Italy 1983 by Calciati as the reference. I found several examples of the coin at CNG &amp; aesearch.com, but none I could find on WildWinds. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone have a reference book or web site suggestion for what I assume is a RR Provincal coin?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
