References most often identify this type as Punic, struck before 209 B.C., but they also note that the head is &quot;Roman style.&quot; Some authorities believe, as we do, that this type was struck after 209, under Roman rule. Carthaginian coins sometimes depicted Barcid generals. This coin possibly depicts the Roman general Scipio Africanus.</p><p><br /></p><p>I got this one for no other reason than it is a PIG!!!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]563242[/ATTACH]</p><p>IBERIA. Castulo.
