SNG Spain dates this type with
the crescent before the bust to
150 - 80 BC. Other references
date this type to the 2nd
Century BC or more specifically
to the mid 2nd century BC.
Of tradition, a local princess

named Himilce married Hannibal
and gained the alliliance of the
city with the Carthaginian
Empire. In 213 BCE, Castulo was
the site of Hasdrubal Barca's
crushing victory over the Roman
army with a force of roughly
40,000 Carthaginian troops plus
local Iberian mercenaries. Soon
after the Romans made a pact
with the residents of city and the
city became an foederati (ally) of
Rome.

Roman Republic, C. Fabius C.f. (Hadrianus?), 102 B.C., Ancient Counterfeit

Cybele was born a hermaphrodite,
but castrated by the gods, she
became female. Heeding the
Sibylline oracle the senate brought
her worship to Rome in 204 B.C. as
the first officially sanctioned
Eastern cult. After approval they
were dismayed to learn that the
priesthood required voluntary self-
castration, which was abhorrent to
the Romans. Romans were barred
from entering the priesthood or
even entering the priest's
sanctuary. The eunuch priests,
recruited from outside Rome, were
confined to their sanctuary, leaving
only to parade in the streets during
festivals in April. Claudius removed
the bans on Roman participation,
making worship of Cybele and her
consort Attis part of the state
religion.

"The coin that killed Caesar." This coin declares Caesar

is "Dictator for Life." He did serve as Dictator for the

this type was often carelessly struck indicating the mint
