These Himyarite AR coins are Scyphate Quinrius, struck in Raidan. The Himyarites, along the coast of modern day Yemen, were an important tribe within the Sabaean Kingdom who ruled from 115 BC until 525 AD. Over the years, the Himyarites expanded its boarders which in turn then consisted of many different individuals from different cultures. The Himyarites wanted to unite all the people and therefore the Sabaean language became predominately spoken. Also the religion of Judaism became the main belief however, this was not without its problems and did take over a hundred years for it to become apparent as each of the kingdoms overthrown had their own religion. Religion was seen as the focal point of battles between the three major kingdoms which included the Himyarites.
