Although many Carthaginian coins from Hispania depict human figures rather than deities, it is not certain whom they represent. However, this portrait is likely inspired by King Hiero II of Syracuse or a member of his family. Hiero II initially supported Carthage but later allied himself with Rome. After his death in 215 BC, his grandson Hieronymus ascended the throne. Hieronymus again sided with Carthage, ruled for barely more than a year, and was assassinated. His coins depict a youthful portrait very similar to the one on this Carthaginian piece.
The reverse of the coin symbolizes military power: it features two shields over a richly decorated galley. Some researchers suggest that the portrait could be that of Hasdrubal, the Carthaginian leader in Hispania who ruled until his assassination in 221 BC. Although there is no conclusive evidence, this hypothesis adds an interesting nuance to the possible interpretation of this coin. Est...4000,00.
