Commentary


Pour ce type, M. Crawford donne une estimation de 100 coins de droit et 125 coins de revers. Ce type semble en fait beaucoup plus rare que ne laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
For this type, Mr. Crawford gives an estimate of 100 obverse dies and 125 reverse dies. This type actually seems much rarer than general works suggest.

Historical background


ROMAN REPUBLIC - ANONYMOUS

(211-202 BC)

In 211 AC, the young Publius Cornelius Scipio was appointed proconsul in Spain and attempted to prevent Hasdrubal from joining Hannibal in Italy. He seizes Cartagena but fails to prevent Hasdrubal from crossing into Italy. Scipio brings war to Africa in 204 AC, forcing the Carthaginians to recall Hannibal. The Carthaginians were finally defeated at Zama in 202 AC and asked for peace the following year. That same year, Publius Cornelius Scipio received the nickname of Scipio "the African".
