First time posting here so cheers to all.
I have an Uncleaned coin, well must of been cleaned but has a lot of green oxydation on it. I bought it as a Carthaginian coin,because you could clearly make out the
elephant on one
side, right away i thought Hannibal
Barca and wanted to get it for my Brother who loves
Roman history and who has a PHD in
Military History.
I went back
home and did some research and it seems i was quite wrong and the seller also.
The backside has a depiction of
Aeneas fleeing
Troy carrying
his father Anchise on
his left shoulder and the
Palladium in
his right hand.
The frontside depicts and
elephant with a
snake at
his feet, i found that the
Elephant crushing the
snake means
victory of
good over evil.
The size seems too large to be silver so i am leaning towards a Bronze coin. The
diameter is not perfect but is between 31MM and 33MM.
Having a hard time finding any info on the net about this one. Could any of you chime in on this one.
Pictures to come shortly. Thanks in advance
