Шаблон:Infobox royalty Ebana was a 5th-century King of the Kingdom of Axum. He is primarily known from the series of coins that were minted during his reign.[1] His gold coins "are easily the commonest of Aksumite gold issues".[2]

Coinage

The gold coins of Ebana are by far the most common of all Aksumite gold coins; the al-Madhariba hoard, recovered from Yemen, alone contained 538 examples of his gold coins, allowing for die-link comparisons to be made. Stuart Munro-Hay speculates that the large number of coins suggests that "he reigned for a considerable time".[3]

The enigmatic inscription + BAC + CIN + BAX + ABA, which first appeared on the coins of Eon, also appear on the obverse of Ebana's coins.[3]
