Little modification, except in small details, seems to be required in the arrangement of the Nabataean series proposed by R. Dussaud in his excellent study published in 1904 to which reference may be made for earlier numismatic literature. The Arabian cities whose coins are catalogued in this volume are those which happened to be comprised in the province from the time of its institution in a.d. 106 down to the end of the period of the Greek coinage. The Persian Imperial coinage consisted of gold coins, generally known to the Greeks as Darics, with smaller denominations, and silver coins, generally known as sigloi, which also had smaller denominations.
