ex FORVM ANCIENT COINS (picture FAC)
Aretas IV Philopatris (Harithath) was king of the Nabataeans from about 9 B.C. to 40 A.D. He is considered one of the most important known kings of the Nabataeans and is therefore also called "Aretas the Great". During his reign the Nabataean Empire was at its height.
Around 9 BC, he became king of the Nabataeans as Aretas after the death of his (presumed) brother Obodas III. Nabataean inscriptions usually refer to him as Aretas, king of Nabatu, who loves his people. Hence the addition Philopatris, "who loves his country". Aretas IV had two wives: Huldu (Chuldu, 1-16) and Shaqilath (Shuqeilat, his sister, from 23).
His daughter Phasaelis married Herod Antipas.
Petra, the capital of the ancient Nabataean kingdom, is a famous archaeological site in the south-west desert of Jordan. Accessible through a narrow canyon called Al Siq, it contains tombs and temples carved into pink sandstone cliffs, earning it the nickname 'Rose City'. Perhaps its most famous structure is the 45m high Al Khazneh, a temple with an ornate Greek-style facade, known as The Treasury. It is believed to have been the mausoleum of the Nabatean king Aretas IV in the 1st century AD.
