| Aanvullende informatie |
The Himyarite Kingdom controlled the frankincense and spice trade routes running through what is now southern Yemen, and their coinage reflects sustained contact with the Hellenistic monetary tradition rather than any indigenous numismatic development. These small silver pieces descended directly from the South Arabian imitations of Athenian owls, progressively abstracted over generations until the original types became nearly unrecognizable.
Tharan Yaub Yuhanim Raydan ruled during a period of intensifying rivalry between Himyar and the Sabaean Kingdom to the north — Raydan itself was the royal seat, distinct from the Sabaean capital of Marib.
