| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Aretas IV facing right, rendered in the schematic Nabataean style characteristic of the early first century AD. The effigy displays a simplified profile with stylized hair and laurel wreath. A single Nabataean letter He (ח) appears in the left field, serving as a mint or regnal identifier. The flan is irregular and the strike somewhat off-center, typical of hammered Nabataean bronze coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Aretas IV ruled the Nabataean Kingdom for over five decades — one of the longest reigns in the dynasty's history — and his coinage with Phasaelis, his first wife, dates to the earlier portion of that reign before she was famously divorced in favor of Herodias. That repudiation directly provoked a war with Herod Antipas, an episode recorded by Josephus and obliquely referenced in the New Testament. Coins naming both rulers together therefore belong to a specific political moment before that rupture.
