<p>[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 1968503, member: 42773"]Yes, unquestionably. The Nabataeans used Ptolemaic coinage extensively in their shipping trade between Gaza and Alexandria during the 3rd-century BC. This Ptolemaic eagle is found even into the coinage of Aretas IV, in the 1st-century AD. It no doubt had some special significance to the Nabataeans, but what that is we can only guess.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
