<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 7749577, member: 86498"]I have been on CT for a few years now and I do not have a large number of coins. However as far as I can see I have never posted this coin.</p><p>Taras Ar Nomos 240-228 BC obv nude ephebe on cantering horse right holding filleted palm branch Rv. Taras riding dolphin left. Vlasto 947 HGC 902 6.34 grams 20 mm [ATTACH=full]1326767[/ATTACH]This coin belongs to the period after the First Punic War when Taras remained an ally of Rome. However in 212 BC the citizens threw off their alliance with Rome and joined Hannibal. This was a fatal error. On a more personal note; I question the dating of this coinage particularly the the date given for the terminus of the coinage in 228 BC. I wonder if it would have continued later. However I have no evidence of any kind to back up my query, so at present it remains just a thought.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
