Since they lack a surviving narrative history of their own, in approaching the Nabataeans one necessarily relies heavily upon the commentaries of outside observers, such as the Greeks, Romans, and Jews, as well as upon comparisons of Nabataean material culture with Classical and Near Eastern models. These approaches have elucidated much about this

  • Arabia Petraea, Uma Província Romana E Suas Emissões Monetárias
    R. Museu Arq. Etn., 32: 167-178, 2019. Arabia Petraea, uma província romana e suas emissões monetárias Vagner Carvalheiro Porto * PORTO, V. C. Arabia Petraea, uma província romana e suas emissões monetárias. R. Museu Arq. Etn., 32: 167-178, 2019. Resumo: A Arabia Petraea, ou província Arábia como também é conhecida, teve sua fundação pelos romanos em 106 d.C., mas já se constituíra como um reino cliente do Império Romano desde o ano 63 da era comum. Teve uma importante função estratégica de guardar a retaguarda da Judeia e o flanco sul da Síria. A instabilidade gerada por rivalidades e interesses particulares dos diferentes estados clientes acabou inclinando Roma para a solução de uma provincialização gradual e definitiva da região. Apesar de ser o reino cliente mais estável, a Nabateia foi um hiato na geografia oriental do império. Sua anexação respondeu, portanto, a abordagens estratégicas e territoriais de curto e longo prazo, fundamentalmente a uma racionalização da gestão do Oriente Romano, que abriu uma fase comple- tamente nova na história da região. É nosso objetivo neste artigo apresentar o histórico da conquista romana sobre os nabateus, a constituição geográfica desta província e as questões político-econômicas que envolveram a formação desta província romana à época do Imperador Trajano, assim como demonstrar o po- tencial de reflexão e apreensão do universo político, social, econômico e religioso que as moedas produzidas nesta região podem nos oferecer.

The peninsula plays a critical geopolitical role in the Arab world due to its vast reserves of oil and natural gas. The most populous cities on the Arabian Peninsula are Riyadh, Dubai, Jeddah, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Kuwait City, Sanaʽa, and Mecca. Before the modern era, it was divided into four distinct regions: Red Sea Coast (Tihamah), Central Plateau (Al-Yamama), Indian Ocean Coast (Hadhramaut) and Persian Gulf Coast (Al-Bahrain).

  • Ancient Roman Civilization
    ANCIENT ROMAN CIVILIZATION HANDOUT PACKAGE FALL 2009 HISTORY 4322/6322 Dr. Peter J. Brand 1 MOST ANCIENT ROME: ORIGINS AND BEGINNINGS Legend of Trojan origins: dates back at least to 5th century BCE, when Greek historian Hellanicus refers to it. Trojan hero Aeneas, in flight from Troy, lands on Italian coast and intermarries with Latin ruling family. His descendants are Romulus and Remus. Aeneas himself was worshipped in Rome under the label Iuppiter Indiges (“native Jupiter”). She-Wolf Legend: current in Italy by late 5th or earlier 4th century, though not clearly with reference to Rome. A statue of babies Romulus and Remus with she-wolf is known to have been set up in Rome as early as 296 BCE. “Latial”/ “Villanovan” settlement on Palatine Hill, which Romans regarded as site of Romulus’ original settlement Sabine component of Roman population: (1) early inhabitants of Quirinal Hill (2) Term for people “Quirites,” originally referring to Sabines, later used for Romans as group. (3) Legend of Sabine women probably is ex-post-facto explanation of Sabine component in Roman makeup. Foundation of Rome: traditionally agreed as being April 21, 753; Roman time-reckoning was generally in terms of so many years “since the founding of the city” (ab urbe condita, abbreviated AUC) Etruscan kings of Rome: Tarquinius Priscus (# 5) and Tarquin the Proud (# 7). The traditional date of his expulsion is 509 BCE. The Republic was believed to have begun immediately afterwards, but this is complicated by Lars Porsenna (of Clusium): attacked, and probably took Rome after Tarquin the Proud was expelled, but did not reinstall him.

The two most common motifs featured on these tombstones are the rider relief motifs and the totenmahl motifs. Aspects of both the reliefs and the inscribed epitaphs are distinctly characteristic of the Roman military. Throughout the history of the Roman Empire, men in the auxiliary cavalry units were recruited from non-Roman allied tribes.

    His Eminence Archbishop of New York and The Most Reverend Metropolitan of Metropolitan JOSEPH All North America The Right Reverend Diocese of Wichita and Bishop BASIL Mid-America ANTIOCHIAN ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN ARCHDIOCESE OF NORTHJune AMERICA July 2019 Beloved and Christ-loving priests, deacons, monastics and lay folk of DOWAMA: I embrace and greet you with a holy kiss in the Name of the Lord Christ. In the Biblical account of the feast of Pentecost (Acts 2) we read of people from a multitude of nations who heard for the very first time and “everyone in his own language” (2:6) the proclamation by the Holy Apostles of the Good News. Among those people were “Arabians” (2:11) which meant people from Rome’s frontier province of Arabia Petraea (the area of modern Syria south of Damascus, the Nabataean kingdom in modern Jordan, the Sinai peninsula and the northwestern tip of modern Saudi Arabia). Much of Decapolis (Matthew 4:25), an area frequently visited by Christ and His disciples, is situated in this Arabia, as is Caesarea Philippi (modern Banyas in Syria) where the Holy Apostle Peter confessed Jesus to be “the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:13-20). It was to this Arabia that, following his baptism in Damascus by St Ananias (9:17 & 18) and his escape over the city’s wall (9:25) that the Holy Apostle Paul fled and spent three years (Galatians 1:15-18). And it was to this Arabia that St Timon, one of the Seventy Apostles appointed by the Lord Christ (Luke 10:1) and one of the Seven Deacons chosen by the Twelve (Acts 6:5), was sent to preach and later served as first bishop of the province’s capital city of Nova Trajana Bostra (modern Bosra in Syria).
