Drachm - Obodas III

正面描述	Laureate and bearded head of a male deity — most likely Zeus-Hadad or Dushara — facing right, the hair rendered in stylized wavy locks with incised striations characteristic of Nabataean die-cutting. A dotted border encircles the field. The portrait is executed in the Hellenistic tradition adopted by Nabataean mint engravers, with bold, slightly abstracted facial features.

附加信息	Obodas III ruled the Nabataean Kingdom in name while his vizier Syllaeus held effective power — a political arrangement that generated enough tension to reach Augustus himself, who ultimately sided against Syllaeus after a disastrous Arabian campaign in 25–24 BC that Syllaeus had deliberately sabotaged. Coins of Obodas III are consequently rare; his reign lasted only from around 30 to 9 BC, and the political instability surrounding his court likely disrupted regular mint output. He died under circumstances suspicious enough that Syllaeus was accused of poisoning him.
