'A relief of an armed, armored, and crowned figure from the ruins of Zafar, described as the seat of the kingdom of "Charibael" in the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea'.

This relief dates centuries after Charibael. Why use it here? The figure is armed with a sword, but wears a light garment and is not armoured, as described in the caption. source: P. Yule, A Late Antique Christian king from Ẓafār, southern Arabia, Antiquity 87,338, December 2013e, 1124–35. A relief of a crowned man arguably depicts king Sumūyafaʿ Ashwaʿ. His regalia reflect Aksumite, Himyarite and Byzantine styles.
