<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1089359, member: 26302&quot;]I just picked this up and am using the auctions pic. I am not a real Republican collector, but I have been looking for this one for a while to augment my Nabatean collection. This one depict King Aretas showing homage to the Romans. There are better ones out there, but I wanted one with the name Aretas showing, a clear figure of the king, and the top of the camel showing. Getting these three features in an under $500 coin is not as easy as it seems.[ATTACH]108647.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Auction attribution is:</p><p><br /></p><p>M. Aemilius Scaurus and Pub. Plautius Hypsaeus. 58 BC. AR Denarius (18mm, 4.09 g, 6h). Rome mint. Nabatean king Aretas kneeling to right before camel standing right / Jupiter driving quadriga left; scorpion below horses. Crawford 422/1b; Sydenham 913; Aemilia 8. Near EF, toned, areas of flat strike. </p><p><br /></p><p>I do not agree with near EF, but I got a coin I liked, at a price that I liked.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
