This is a nice example of a Nabatean coin. Here are more images of coins from this kingdom. http://wildwinds.com/coins/greece/a...ataea/i.html

SNGANS 1438 Aretas IV, 9 BC-40 AD, King of Nabataea, bronze of 17.8 mm, 4.24 grams. Jugate busts of Aretas & Shuqailait. / Double cornucopias, the names of the King & Queen in Nabataean Aramaic between them.


this one fits the description the most
why? the others have hair draped and this one just has a 'hairknot' and a slim neck
its just hard to atribute

Nway you are awsome, thx for the help !


P.S the other ones have draped hair whoohoo !
