CARTHAGE , Æ15, 3rd cent BC, Tanit head l./Horse stg r, palm behind; VF+/F-VF, centered & complete, darkish green patina, minimal roughness; excellent detail on head. Carthage has a weird fascination for collectors; maybe due to the Carthaginian practice of sacrificing babies to Moloch by burning them alive. (A Choice VF+/VF sold for $311 on a $340 bid in my 2/21 sale.)
