Description: Anonymous issues. Circa 72-9(?). Æ 17mm Petra mint. Schmitt-Korte & Price argue that the anonymous bronzes, imitations of the gold staters of Alexander, are the first issues of a mint at Petra. Aretas III (87-62 BC) lost his principal city of Damascus to Tigranes II in 72 BC, and the mint was transferred to the desert citadel of Petra.
