	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Bostra
		Bostra, "The fortress", is neither Bosor of Reuben and Moab (Deuteronomy 4:24; Joshua 20:8), nor Bosrah of Edom (Genesis 36:33, Jeremiah 49:13, etc.), now Bouseira between Tafile and Shobaq.
		When the kingdom was destroyed by Cornelius Palma (105 or 106), a general of Trajan, Bostra became the metropolis of Arabia and was known as Nova Trajana Bostra.
		The Crusaders by a mistake ranked Bostra under the authority of the Patriarchate of Jerusalem, instead of under that of Antioch.

	Interpretation of Umm el-Jimal History -- Part II
		It is clear that Umm el-Jimal was part of a network of settlements in which agriculture was the basic activity, and in which villages and towns were graded by size, according to their regional significance, as market centers for locally-grown agricultural produce.
		While the most elaborate ecclesiastical structures are still to be found in Bostra, the plethora of construction in the towns of the diocese represents a vast shift in the distribution of resources previously available for public liturgies from city to countryside (Cameron 1993: 170).
		A counterpoint to Umm el-Jimal's relationship with Bostra was its connection with the tribes of the desert.

	The Cult and Representation of Dusares in Roman Arabia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		The Bostra coin of Commodus as Caesar was first brought to the attention of the scholarly world by Charles Rufus Morey, who published the specimen acquired by the Princeton Archaeologist Expedition to Syria.

		The baetyls at Bostra continued to be represented with ever more splendour under Philip and his immediate successors, at a time when the anthropomorphic form of Dusares was also renewed on the coinage.
