<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1036336, member: 26302&quot;]I agree with the fact that Nabateans are not Greek. However, one has to be careful since in ancient coinage most coins are classified as either Roman or Greek unless it happens to be Chinese or maybe Indian. So in that classification it is &quot;greek&quot;, then Nabatean, then the ruler. I know of hundreds of cultures who would roll over in their grave at the thought at anyone calling them Greek, (Carthage, Persian, Celtic, Axumite, Himyarite, etc), yet they are classified that way by us simply as a means of quickly delineating them from Roman.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like these coins a lot. There seems to be a large hoard on the market recently, as I was able to pick up about 200 of these. It happens, a hoard of these were on the market about 8 years ago too. Long time tip is to buy when you can buy when these hoards appear, because they will go away.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, check out websites on Petra if you want to see the amazing place where this coin was struck. Like many have said, if coins could talk![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
