Commentary


Ce type était décrit comme un quart de litra ou seizième d’once plutôt qu’une demi-litra (D. Sear), mais correspond bien à un tetartemorion ou quart de litra (cf. Vecchi 3, 13 septembre 1996, n° 19). Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent percevoir les ouvrages.
This type was described as a quarter of a litra or sixteenth of an ounce rather than a half-litra (D. Sear), but corresponds well to a tetartemorion or quarter of a litra (cf. Vecchi 3, 13 September 1996, no. 19). This type seems much rarer than the works suggest

Historical background


ROMAN REPUBLIC - ANONYMOUS

(235-230 BC)

After the occupation of Sardinia and Corsica in 238 AC by the Romans, the Carthaginians seized Spain, led by Hamilcar, the father of H annibal. Hamilcar died in battle in 228 AC and was succeeded by his son-in-law, Hasdrubal. A treaty was signed the same year between the Romans and the Carthaginians. He made the Ebro the border of the Carthaginian possessions and guaranteed the neutrality of Saguntum, an ally of Rome..
