History of the Umayyad Empire and Caliph Hisham:
The Umayyad Caliphate was one of the early Islamic empires, ruling from 661 to 750 AD. Under the Umayyad dynasty, the Islamic Empire expanded its territories, conquering vast areas of the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Europe. The Umayyad period is known for its advances in architecture, art, and trade.
Caliph Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik ruled from AH 105 to 125 (724-743 AD). During his reign, the Umayyad Caliphate reached its territorial height, with extensive conquests in North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula. Hisham was known for his focus on administrative reforms and maintaining stability within the empire. The coin minted in Wasit during his reign reflects the prosperity and stability of the Umayyad Empire during this period.
