    Beautiful coin JA. Great detail. Gotta love the six pack and one of the clearest detail on the cornucopia.

    Excellent! That is one classy coin, JA.
    Now, how about some more Nabataens ;).

    An excellent coin. It illustrates why I love tetrarchal folles. They are large and available in beautiful shape. And, I'll bet it did not cost a fortune. What's not to like?

    Thank you gentlemen. No, it did not cost a fortune by any means. It comes from our colleague Dionysos, who prices his coins very reasonably.

    As far as Nabataeans go, at the moment, I'm heavily into some research concerning the reign of Obodas II, which will soon congeal itself onto my website. I'll post it here when I'm satisfied with the pages and have them all uploaded.
