Abstract:

The article presents a Nabataean text inscribed in raised relief on a bronze plate and dated to the seventh year of the Nabataean king Aretas IV (3 BC). The text is significant since it mentions the dedication of a water well/cistern by Aretas, to his god Dushara, the God of Gaia “for the life of himself and his wife ḥldw, queen of the Nabataeans, and their daughter pṣʾl.” The paper includes a commentary on the vocabulary of the text and sheds some light on water and its association with the cult in Nabataea. In addition, it provides some details about ḥldw, queen of the Nabataeans and pṣʾl, t

Abstract:

The Nabataeans were a group of nomads living in the Arabian Desert, who grouped together and centered on a rather vast area for over 400 years. At this peak, the Nabataeans stretched from modern-day Madain Saleh to Damascus, and from Western Iraq to Peninsula of Sinai according to some historians. No one is sure how large their Empire really was. They were elusive and mysterious, while their caravans traveled widely. It is difficult to be certain of the borders of their kingdom, or the extent of their travel.Wadi Mukattab in South Sinai is also known as the Valley of the Inscriptions; in this

Abstract This paper examines an unpublished Nabataean inscription from Umm-el-Jimāl, dated to the fifth year of the reign of King Rabel II (75 CE). The inscription mentions Rabel II, the last Nabataean king, and his title, “King of the Nabataeans” (mlk nbṭw), is historically significant. It reflects the political status of the king during a period of transition within the kingdom, shortly after the death of his mother, Queen Shuqailat. The absence of additional royal epithets, later associated with Rabel II, provides insight into the early phase of his rule. The inscription provides substantia

Abstract:

AbstractNabataean history is significantly overlooked in the works of ancient historians. Josephus is an exception to this, as he includes several important events from Nabataean history in De Bello Judaico and Antiquitates Judaicae. However, his retelling of these events differs between the two works. In this paper, I argue that Josephus became more “pro-Roman” over time and eventually overshadowed an accurate portrayal of Nabataean history in his later narrative. He undermined moments of tension between Rome and Nabataea in order to showcase Roman power in the Near East, even beyond reality.

Abstract:

Hellenism was a real cultural force in Nabataean Petra's urban planning and architectural products. Petra is a paradigm of our knowledge of how the Nabataeans designed and built their urban settlement. In approaching the city, one immediately notices how they planned the city to maximise and take advantage of the accessible majestic landscape topography. They created an extraordinary metropolis in the city centre and the surrounding sandstone mountains. There are many aspects of the particularity and creativity of Nabataean culture during the Hellenistic and Roman periods. In the Nabataean Pet

Abstract:

Petra, the ancient Nabataean capital, has been one of our main research objectives since the first field campaign on site in 1996. 1 In December 2015 a new visit to the city was made to coincide with the winter solstice. Historical, ethnographic, epigraphic and archaeological records are compared in order to gain an insight on the Nabataean calendar. From this multi-source analysis two main points arise: the importance of both equinoxes and winter solstice within the lunisolar calendar and the relevance of some processions and pilgrimages. These combined with illumination effects observed and

As one of the oldest Arab society, Nabataeans had an important role in the development of Arabian thought from the ancient times of history until the birth of the Islam. All kinds of background knowledge that shaped the world of pre-Islamic Arab society contribute to the understanding of the Quran. John F. Healey’s work provides detailed information regarding the history, religion and culture of Nabataeans. The thought that the introduction and examination of Healey’s work will provide important details to the academy in terms of Ancient Arab history has led us to evaluate this boo

This study discusses the history of the Arabs of north Arabia in later pre-Islamic times. This study provides an in-depth discussion of Arab ethnicity, which contributes to the improvement of our knowledge regarding this controversial issue. This study argues that the Arab nation is, in fact, a very old one of great importance, but the Arabs themselves had no consciousness of their unity and did not leave inscriptions proclaiming their identity as Arabs or claim to be the rightful proprietors of specific territories.

This thesis provides the beginnings of further research on the correlation between Nabataean mortuary practices and specific biological age ranges. It seeks to answer the question of whether Nabataean infants were absent from, or under-represented, in Nabataean cemeteries. Several quantitative analyses and descriptive statistics were performed, comparing Nabataean adult and subadult burials from fourteen sites. Nabataean cemetery populations were also compared with Walter Scheidel's model life table. These analyses demonstrate that Nabataean burials typically consisted of either a single adul

Cette étude a pour objectif de vérifier l’existence d’un éventuel système défensif reposant sur un réseau de fortifications et de postes de guet au travers d'un relevé des vestiges archéologiques visibles en surface et de pouvoir en préciser la chronologie grâce à l’observation des techniques de construction

Abstract:

The present study deals with the Nabataean economy in the light of archaeological evidence. It depends on some limited historical sources, epigraphy, published data from archaeological excavations and surveys and new data published for the first time after a survey conducted by the author in Bayda, five kilometres north of Petra, Jordan. The study is divided into three chapters. The first chapter is concerned with Nabataean trade, both at local and international levels. This chapter includes a discussion on the Nabataean trade routes, maritime commerce, Nabataean legal and commercial documents

Abstract:

‘The Religious Life of Nabataea’ examines the evidence for the religious practices and beliefs of the inhabitants of the Nabataean kingdom. It analyses material produced in the large area of the north-western Arabian Peninsula that was under the rule of the Nabataean king until the annexation of his kingdom by Rome in AD 106. Because of the scarcity of literary sources describing Nabataea, this study is largely dependent on inscriptions, with architectural and archaeological remains helping to put these better into their context. It is argued that a number of methodological problems with earli

Abstract:

The impact of the Hellenization in the Ancient Near East resulted in a notable presence of Greek koiné language and culture and in the interaction between Greek and Nabataean that conducted inhabitants to engrave inscriptions in public spaces using one of the two languages or both. In this questionably ‘diglossic’ situation, a significant number of Nabataean-Greek inscriptions emerged, showing that the koin was employed by the Nabataeans as a sign of Hellenistic cultural affinity. This book offers a linguistic and philological analysis of fifty-one Nabataean-Greek epigraphic evidences existin
