| Additional information |
Rabbath-Moba — ancient Areopolis, modern Rabba in Jordan — was a minor Nabataean settlement absorbed into the Roman province of Arabia Petraea after Trajan's annexation in 106 AD. Civic bronze coinage from this city is exceptionally scarce; the town never achieved the commercial weight of Bostra or Petra, and its mint output was correspondingly thin. This piece dates to the co-reign of Caracalla and Geta under Septimius Severus, a period of intense dynastic tension that ended with Caracalla's murder of his brother in 211.
