The great Libyan uprising against Carthage, which broke out between 241 and 238 BC, was one of the most dramatic moments in Carthaginian history. The conflict arose from the discontent of the mercenaries who, after the First Punic War, had not received the payment they had been promised. Tension quickly escalated into a brutal war that involved the Libyan populations and undermined Carthaginian authority at a time when the city was already weakened by its long struggle against Rome. The revolt exposed Carthage’s internal difficulties: financial problems, rivalries among commanders, and a loss of control over the African territories. The battles were fierce, the sieges bloody, and for years the Punic power seemed on the verge of collapse. Only the vigorous intervention of Hamilcar Barca managed to reverse the situation and restore Carthaginian rule over the region. Yet this turbulent period revealed the structural fragility of the state and paved the way for the events that would lead to the Second Punic War. The coinage of the period reflects a system under severe strain. The bronze issues of the Carthaginian mint show clear signs of devaluation, alterations in the alloys, and attempts to stabilise exchange values, all elements that mirror the political and financial crisis of the time. These years saw a progressive impoverishment of the alloys, with an increase in lead and a reduction in tin, indicating a cheaper and less controlled production. The first attempts to imitate silver and billon coins also appear, revealing growing difficulty in obtaining precious metal. Instances of counterfeiting are documented as well, probably linked to the mercenary crisis, as troops sought to secure payment in a context of administrative collapse.

Sunrise 24.Although it is believed that the earliest Staters in Lydia are really to be attributed to Kroisos, the most recent series should be dated to the time of Persia's conquest of the region. From the end of the 6th century BC, gold Darics and silver Sigloi appear, marked by the type of the archer king and struck for decades in the mint of Sardis. The name 'Daric' assigned to the Persian gold stater is already found in Herodotus and is mentioned in an Athenian document from 429 BC. These were well known coins in Greek environments, intended to circulate in a huge empire and therefore struck in large quantities. Gold was used by Persian kings as prestige currency, for donations and for large payments, for example to pay Greek mercenaries in their service. This is why many specimens of these staters have been found in Greece and Sicily. The Golden Daric was worth 20 silver Sigloi and corresponded as weight to the value of 1/60th of the Persian mina. The king, connoted as a warrior and hunter, is depicted first with a bow and arrows, then while shooting a bow, and finally with a bow and sword. The date of the beginning of the coinage of the Darics and Sigloi is provided by a clay tablet from Persepolis, dated to about 500 BC, on which the image of the ruler while shooting with a bow is imprinted. This type continued to be reproduced until the end of the dynasty, when Darios III was defeated by Alexander the Great in 330 BC. Condition: Near extremely fine.Weight: 8.30 g.
