Gaba is believed to have been in the tetrarchy of Trachonitis ruled over by Herod Philip II (4BC-AD34). After the death of Herod Philip II, the area was annexed to the Roman province of Syria. The site which produced coins in the Imperial period could be either Gaba (modern Jaba&#039;) or Gaba Philippi (modern Tell Shosh/Tell Abu Shusha).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]658980[/ATTACH]</p><p>Sabina, AD 117-137</p><p>Roman provincial Æ 17.3 mm, 4.65 g</p><p>Trachonitis, Gaba, AD 133-134</p><p>Obv: ΒΑC-CΑΒЄΙΝΑ, bare-headed and draped bust right</p><p>Rev: ΓΑΒ-ΗΝѠΝ, naked male figure (Zeus?) standing facing, holding scepter and mantle; ΦΔ (city year 194 = AD 133/4) in field, left</p><p>Refs: Rosenberger CCOP 14; similar to SGI 1316 and Hendin 854.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
