[QUOTE="philologus_1, post: 3723083, member: 92212"]Nice example! But it doesn't include Greek letters. Roman Provincial coinage was issued in Petra and Damascus. Both cities could be loosely considered Nabatean land, but the coins are Roman in style not Nabatean. Damascus RPC issues began at the tail end of the 1st century B.C., while Petra RPC issues began, I believe, during Hadrian's reign. The Nabatean culture is quite interesting and makes for captivating historical reading, particularly in regard to their interactions with Hasmonean, Roman, Parthian, and other governments. Their coinage (non-silver) can still be acquired in decent shape at comparatively reasonable prices. Get 'em while you can! :-D[/QUOTE]
