<p>[QUOTE=&quot;old49er, post: 2974001, member: 78229&quot;]Hi everyone, I&#039;m pretty excited to get my first Nabataean coin. I have been wanting one since I saw one posted here.&nbsp; There is some really interesting History and Petra is a fascinating place to me. I love the sandy patina look and the coin appears to be in decent condition. [ATTACH=full]730298[/ATTACH]Nabataea, Aretas IV &amp; Shuqailat. 9 BC - 40 AD. Jugate busts of Aretas IV &amp; Shuqailat /Crossed cornucopiae, Nabataean inscription. 18 mm, 3.7 g. ref: Meshorer.&nbsp; &nbsp; Obodas was assassinated in 9 BC, (possibly poisoned by Syllaeus) and Aenaeas took possession of leadership, and took on the name Aretas IV. A short time later Syllaeus found himself in shackles, and was transported to Rome. He was tried for the murder of Obodas by a Roman court, found guilty and pitched headlong from the Tarpeian Rock in 6 BC. <i>copyright 2002 CanBooks&nbsp; <a href="http://nabataea.net/mhistory.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://nabataea.net/mhistory.html" rel="nofollow">http://nabataea.net/mhistory.html</a>&nbsp; Feel free to share anything related.Would love to see them.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petra" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petra" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petra</a></i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
