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.

Morgantina (Sicily). AE 20. 212-211 BC. (A. Vico, Numisma 250, p. 355). Anv.: Male head right. Rev.: Lance horseman right, below (HIS)PANO(RVM). Ae. 4,94 g. Sicily was annexed by the Roman Republic in the late 3rd century BC, following intense conflicts in which mercenaries played a key role. During the Second Punic War, their recruitment was essential in defending cities against Rome. Syracuse, the last city to fall, was betrayed by a group of Hispanic mercenaries led by Moericus, who secretly negotiated with Consul Marcus Claudius Marcellus to facilitate the entry of Roman troops.
As a reward, Rome granted them control of Morgantina (Murgentia), in the island’s interior, where they received land and the authority to mint bronze coins for local transactions. These issues, known as the Hispanorum series, include the first written reference to Hispania and its population. Their significance lies in this historical uniqueness rather than in their artistic quality. VF. Est...500,00.
