[QUOTE="GinoLR, post: 7999982, member: 128351"][ATTACH=full]1387874[/ATTACH] Malichus I (59-30 BC), minted year 27 = 34/3 BC. I got it in Petra many, many years ago, when the only accommodation was the old Petra Guest House with its bar inside a Nabataean tomb, when the access to the site was free, when there were few foreign tourists to whom Beduins proposed real ancient coins... Meshorer 14 [ATTACH=full]1387866[/ATTACH] is it Obodas III (30-9 BC) or Aretas IV (9 BC - 40 AD)? On the reverse I can read [...]ת מלך נבטו שנת[...], so I cannot decide if it is Obodas or Aretas... [ATTACH=full]1387867[/ATTACH] This one is probably the commonest of all Nabataean coins. Aretas IV (9 BC - 40 AD) with Queen Shuqylat. [ATTACH=full]1387869[/ATTACH] Rabbel II (70-106 AD), the last Nabataean king, with Queen Gamilat[/QUOTE]
