<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tejas, post: 4366848, member: 84905&quot;]I got interested in Nabataean coins when I visted Jordan a couple of years ago. At the famous sites like Petra locals sell Nabataean coins in large quantities. It is however illegal to buy and sell them, also what they are offering is of poor quality. The good pieces go to dealers in Amman. I bought a few coins in Amman and some more later in regular auctions.</p><p>What is interesting, most people in Jordan look like &quot;normal&quot; Arabs, but than there are people that are of darker skin, more graziel built and the men often have long hair. These people are said to be the descendants of the Nabataeans. In any case, Jordan is breathtaking with sites like Petra and Wadi.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are a few of the silver coins from my collection:</p><p><br /></p><p>Rabbel and Gamilat</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1103393[/ATTACH]</p><p>Malichos II and Shaqilath</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1103394[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Aretas IV and Shaqilath</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1103396[/ATTACH]</p><p>Obodas III</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1103398[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
