Wazeba
Wazeba was a king of the Aksumite Empire in Africa. He ruled at the beginning of the fourth century and is known almost exclusively for his coins.
Wazeba is the first ruler whose coinage also has legends in ancient Ethiopian and not only in Greek. He is the only ruler whose gold coins bear old Ethiopian . A symbol that Ousanas used also appears on some coins , so it has been suggested that both rulers ruled together for a period.
