The Camel Drachms of Trajan in Context. Old Problems and a New Overstrike

A systematic study of the so-called 'Camel drachms' of Trajan (RPC III, nos 4076-4081). It includes the publication and discussion of a specimen in the Kadman Numismatic Pavilion of the Eretz Israel Museum, Tel Aviv (inv. K-2712), which is overstruck on a Nabataean silver coin. This piece is clearly authentic; it is die-linked (obv. and rev.) to a specimen from the Tell Kalak hoard kept in the collection of the American Numismatic Society (ANS 1956.127.2241).
