<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 8429513, member: 74282&quot;]This is a wonderful example as well, and almost certainly from the same hoard as mine. As far as whether or not Capua was the copier or the copied, that&#039;s definitely a difficult question. More recent studies are moving the date of the victoriati earlier and earlier, and while I&#039;m not super up to date on how Capua&#039;s coins are dated and what the latest thinking is, the dates I see cited seem to suggest they came about right around the same time that I suspect the first victoriati were minted which is also around the same time Capua flipped to Hannibal. I kind of wonder if perhaps some particular event, now lost to history, inspired both, but it&#039;s hard to say.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
