<p>[QUOTE=&quot;philologus_1, post: 25361545, member: 92212&quot;]Nabataeans have always caught my eye.&nbsp; Even though they are <i>slightly</i> out of my over-arching collecting theme, 17 &quot;Nabby&quot; types have somehow sneaked into my collection.&nbsp; (And I see a similar but greater occurrence of this sneaking in the collection of [USER=81896]@Deacon Ray[/USER] .) <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The Hasmoneans and Herodians each had no small amount of interaction with the Nabateans (not always pleasant interactions).&nbsp; Also, Aretas IV was father-in-law to Herod Antipas for a short while. That did not end well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Related to this subject of interactions between the neighbors, I recommend this book: Roman Arabia, by G. W. Bowersock, from Harvard University Press. It&#039;s an easy and interesting read, and is conveniently well-indexed for reference![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
