Roman Republic, Second Punic War Vanquished Enemy Overstrike, 211 - 204 B.C.
|211-100| |B.C.|, |Roman| |Republic,| |Second| |Punic| |War| |Vanquished| |Enemy| |Overstrike,| |211| |-| |204| |B.C.|, This coin is from Andrew McCabe's group H1, a previously unrecognized late Second Punic War issue, overstruck on the coins of Rome's vanquished enemies, from a mint or mints in Southern Italy, Sicily or Sardinia (this coin was struck on Sardinia). The most common undertype is Carthaginian Tanit / horse types, but coins of Capua, the Bretti, Syracuse and other coins of the vanquished were also overstruck. For reasons unknown, these coins were overstruck on types that weighed half the standard for the same denomination at Rome. In the past these coins were often assumed, based on their weight, to date to the late second century or first century B.C.
