Augustus and Aretas IV, 1 BC / 1 ADObv. bare head of Augustus left , AVGVS TR • POT.
Rev. laureate head of Aretas VI left , Nabataean date ( Shnt ///~) year 8 .
21mm, 6.9 grams

This coin shows in one side Augustus and the other side a Nabataean king with Nabatean script in front of his head ( Shnt ///~) dated to the eighth year of the reign of King Aretas IV, about 1 BC-1 AD , which is four years after the death of the Herodian King Herod the Great in 4 BC. Augustus relied on his friend Herod for the affairs of the East, and after the death of Herod , his kingdom was divided among his three sons, which led to the weakness of the strongest ally of Emperor Augustus.
This coin was wrongly described by RPC I 5419; SNG Hunterian 4983 as unknown mint from Syria or Zenodorus at Chalcis for unknown king.
