I&#039;ve only got two coins directly related to the Second Punic War, but will post the more interesting one below. It&#039;s an early denarius serratus struck in Sicily, c. 209-208 BC, 4.19 gm, to pay Roman legionnaires or Greek mercenaries fighting against the Carthaginians . In 213 BC Carthage sent a force of 23,000 men to Sicily in the hope of securing the island, but were no match for the forces of Marcus Claudius Marcellus. By 210 BC Rome had complete control of the island.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1001781[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
