                                NABATAEA, Obodas III. 30-9 BC. AR Drachm or 
                                Denarius (4.54 gm). Jugate busts of Obodas and 
                                his queen / Diademed bust of Obodas; year off

                                As befitting their place astride the trade 
                                routes between east and west, the Nabataeans 
                                strove to accomodate the various peoples they 
                                dealt with on a constant basis. The silver coins 
                                of Obodas are the size and weight of an Attic 
                                drachm, but analysis of the silver content shows 
                                that it is equivalent in value to the Roman 
                                denarius.
