[QUOTE]Originally posted by the questioner: [QB] i remember reading a source that said the Carthaginians used leather money instead of coins. so far i have not found a single ancient source that says that they used or struck coins. the coins that are found in Carthage happen to be Sicilian brought there from Syracuse when Agathocles led an expedition into Tunisia. the coins do not show tanit but they show the Greek goddesses demeter and kore when agathocles left Sicily for Africa he brought a ton of money with him from the temples of Sicily. when he arrived he sacrificed to these two goddesses. the coins of Spain that display Hercules and a elephant are actually from the Greek city of sagantum. when hannibal sacked the city of sagantum he brought tons of money from the city back to "Carthage nova" can anyone refute these facts?
