Hannibal worked effectively to restore the finances of Carthage. The annual payment of 10,000 talents to Rome as reparations for the war, and the loss of control over the silver mines in Spain made the issuing of a silver coinage impossible. The immense thickness of this coin also precluded any significant relief of the die&#039;s impression.</i></b></p><p><b><i><br /></i></b></p><p>870</p><p><b><i>[ATTACH=full]686355[/ATTACH]</i></b></p><p>Zeugitania.
