Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 05/16/2018 3:31 pm Glad I quickly flipped through the references for this one! Nabatea, Obodas II (?) And Hagru AE Unit (Prutah?) 33-32 BC Jugate busts of king and queen right Eagle standing left, Nabatean around There are a few Nabatean bronzes with eagles modeled after the Ptolemaic model, but apparently only one with a jugate portrait. I can't find much on Obodas II, except that Wikipedia mentions his existence was questioned until recently. See another example on FORVM, it's mentioned that only a few (4-5) of these are known: http://www.forumancientcoins.com/bo...pic=91378.75 Lesson learned: Do your homework before you sell!
