<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1871364, member: 42773&quot;]Hey folks we had a nice sunny day and I decided to re-shoot all my early Nabataeans, which I&#039;ve been meaning to do. I&#039;ve talked about these individually before, so there&#039;s no need for a new thread. I&#039;ll just post them here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the Reader&#039;s Digest version: 1 and 2 are proto-Nabataeans struck over Ptolemaic and Seleucid hosts; 3 and 4 are issues of Aretas II (and possible 3 other early kings); 5 is of the same type, but modeled more after coins of Alexander Balas than Alexandrine staters (notice the Boeotian helmet instead of Corinthian); 6 and 7 are of a barbarous style and may represent the first coins minted in Petra; 8 is the first coin on which a Nabataean king&#039;s name appears (Aretas II), minted in Damascus following a Seleucid archetype.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://postimage.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://postimage.org/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://s29.postimg.org/6ytpcswpj/earlysmall.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
