Al-Zahir Ghazi, a son of Saladin, ruled Aleppo from 1186 to 1216. He strengthened the city’s citadel and developed its royal palace complex, leaving a lasting mark on medieval Aleppo. This issue acknowledges both the Abbasid caliph al-Nasir and the Ayyubid overlord al-‘Adil Abu Bakr, reflecting the overlapping religious and political authorities of the period.
