| Additional information |
Rabbath-Moba, the Nabataean city absorbed into the Roman province of Arabia Petreaea after Trajan's annexation in 106 AD, produced a notably thin civic coinage under the Severan dynasty. The retrograde ethnic — ΑΡϹΑΠΟΛΙϹ running right-to-left — is not an engraver's error but a feature documented across multiple dies from this mint, suggesting either a local workshop convention or a puncheon applied without correction by a careless die-cutter who was never overruled.
