    Here are all of my non-Judaean acquisitions of 2019.

    I really didn’t spend much this year compared to other years. I have one more which brings the total number of 2019 coins to 11. The 11th coin has gone to my Secret Saturnalia recipient and will be revealed if and when he/she deems it appropriate. I didn’t include my 2019 Judaean coins because I’m not finished purchasing Judaeans this year.

    Nice. I've always wanted to get into the Judea coins but never had the time to find a page on them.

    Congrats, DR! There's something so intriguing about Nabataean coinage and you've got a nice assortment. It's hard to pick a favorite from among your S&Ps but I think Nero just edged out Vespy :D.

    Glad to see you flying the Nabataean flag, DR... someone’s gotta do it! :D Seriously, I’m quite fond of those Aretas & Shuquilat marriage issues. Of the Antioch Provincials, the Vespasian is my favorite. And, as always, fantastic presentation! I hope you have a great 2020 in and out of coinland.

    Wow, very cool acquisitions this year! And you are breaking free of your focus, but in a very logical and pragmatic route. They fit well into your collection! Excellent.

    Thanks for sharing with wonderful graphics and great write-ups. I really enjoy your postings!

    I'm with gogili, I really dig the Nero and Nerva! I'd love to have the Aretas IV with the eagle on it also!
