The Rulers of Nabataea, reigned over the Nabataean Kingdom (also rendered as Nabataea, Nabatea, or Nabathea), inhabited by the Nabateans, located in present-day Jordan, south-eastern Syria, southern Israel and north-western Saudi Arabia.

The queens of the later Nabataean Kingdom figure side by side with their husbands as co-rulers on their coins.[1]
