[ATTACH=full]308823[/ATTACH] [B]RABBEL II, WITH GAMILAT[/B] AE14 Nabataean Kingdom, Petra, 70-106 AD, Meshorer Nabataen 163. O: Jugate laureate busts of Rabbel II and Gamilath. R: RB'L/GMLT in Nabataean script in two lines between horns of two crossed cornucopias. I'm fully prepared to be wrong as I only started learning how to read Nabataen last night and also haven't cleaned the coin beyond... well, I just haven't cleaned it.
