		In this brief essay, I will limit myself to sketching some of the known economic and political relations between neighboring and distant regions of the Old World, in the hope that this will be debated, added to, extended, and conjoined with other analyses of related cultural, religious, linguistic, social, and material relations and connections.
		The anchors of the economic connections between Nabatea and East Africa were the trades in spices and incense.
		This is demonstrated by Rome's later annexation of Nabatea under the title, Arabia Petraea (Houston 1926:111-114; Miller 1969), in their efforts to confront the power of Petra as a pivotal entrepot between Africa and China, on the one hand, and the Mediterranean, on the other.

		The last Nabatean monarch, Rabbel II, struck a deal with the Romans that as long as they did not attack during his lifetime, they would be allowed to move in after he died.

	Hail Jesus — King of the Jews
		Rumors that Parthians were part of the ancient lost tribes (as well as the small Jewish remnant still in Babylon) induce a dream in the Parthian king which tells him that God has called on him to liberate the Jewish nation from the hands of the Romans.
		A strong Judea becomes a sort of go-between in the eventual trade between Parthia, Nabatea, and Rome, and is able to prosper due to this.
		The lack of war with Rome prevents the Persians from being able to conquer the entire empire, though Persia is able to lead the eastern half off into an independent Zoroastrian empire.

		When he died in 106 CE, the Romans claimed the Nabatean Kingdom and renamed it Arabia Petrea, and they redesigned it on traditional Roman architectural designs and the City dwelled in a period of relative prosperity.

	religion and arch
		It was a powerful culture in the first centuries BCE and CE, largely because of their control of east-west and north-south trade routes, giving rise to their reputation as wealthy middle-men.
		Part of Israel's inheritance in architecture and the arts was oriental; these influences continued to be felt strongly in Nabatea (e.g., Si`a), which in turn influenced Jewish canons of taste, especially in religious architecture in projects such as the Temple in Jerusalem, the Haram el-Khalil in Hebron and in burial monuments and tombs.
		Archeologically, however, the picture is very rich; places such as Nabatea, Palmyra and Baalbek experienced a flowering of religious architecture that had a distinctively "baroque" character, especially in the late-first and second century CE.

	Trajan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He resettled Dacia with Romans and annexed it as a province of the Roman Empire.
		At about the same time, the kingdom of Nabatea expired upon the death of its final king, Rabbel Soter.
		He willed the realm to Trajan, so at the same time that Dacia was being conquered, the Empire gained what became the province of Arabia Petraea (modern southern Jordan and a small part of Saudi Arabia).

	Ancient Nabatian coins from Arabia
		Coins offered in this section come of the Kingdom of Nabatea - an ancient Kingdom Bordering Judea on the East, with a capital in Petra (the fabled city cut in rock - a place considered by some to be one of the wonders of the earth).
		They held close ties to Romans during the 1st century AD, and became something of a client Kingdom, and were finally annexed by Emperor Trajan in 106 AD.
		Instead of the Kingdom of Nabatea a province of Arabia was created.

		There was talk of the killings being a "mistake." The Shaqra deaths went unexplained.
		The Israelis said that the bombing at Nabatea and the Yater killings were also an "accident" -- the same word they used to describe the killing of a Syrian army major in Beirut on Friday (though not, oddly, of their killing of a young woman on the coast road).

	Denver Journal - 1:0215
		The problem with dating Paul's flight from Aretas as early as A.D. 36 (Hengel places Paul's conversion in 33) dissipates once it is recognized that Aretas is acting in a less official capacity at this point and that he may not have even ruled more formally later.
		Paul's ever-widening circles of ministry to Nabatea, Syria and Cilicia form part of his theologico-geographical strategy of moving ever outward, linguistically and culturally, from Jerusalem, as the uniquely commissioned apostle to the Gentiles.
		Paul's relative silence concerning this early period, however, may be due to the extent of opposition and hostility he faced, including a number of the sufferings he enumerates in 2 Corinthians 11:23b-27, otherwise unattested in Acts.

		The northernmost Arab kingdom of Nabatea, more or less contiguous with modern Jordan, was especially prosperous during Jesus' time.
		As for the Jews of the Holy Land, they had been battered, conquered, dispersed and dominated by foreigners almost continuously for more than 800 years before Jesus was born, and those depredations by Assyrians, Babylonians, Greeks and Romans had left their cultural mark on the Holy Land.

	The story of Aramaic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		This Judean or Palestinian Aramaic is so similar to Syriac that it is readily possible to read the Aramaic scrolls as Syriac written using Hebrew letters.
		The multitude of Aramaic documents amongst the Sea Scrolls, written 200 BC to 70 AD show the same words and syntax as other extant writings and inscriptions in Aramaic dialects over the same period found in other nearby geographies to the north and east, like the dialects spoken in Samaria, Edessa, Palmyra and Nabatea, [4].
		Therefore, because these Aramaic dialects surrounding Galilee were all very similar, it follows that the dialect of Aramaic spoken in Galilee must also have been very similar to those of surrounding areas.

		I actually have a friend who is finishing up his PhD on Nabatean studies here in Liverpool.

		Therefore, it's an independent kingdom, as far as I can tell.

		Jerusalem was a monoculture, comparable to Washington or Redmond, Wash. (It remains so today, although it is now tourism rather than religion that is the city's dominant business.) Unlike many company towns, however, the city in Jesus' time had a cosmopolitan feel.
		Its material needs drew caravans from Samaria, Syria, Egypt, Nabatea, Arabia and Persia.
		Two-thirds of its population were Jews (roughly the same percentage as today), practicing a religion that counted millions of adherents in the Roman Empire and a large group of "God fearers," Gentiles who observed some key precepts without full conversion.

		Later attempts to conquer the country were made by Roman governors and generals under Trajan and Severus, but these were mostly restricted to the neighbourhood of the Syrian frontiers, such as Nabatea, Bosra, Petra, Palmyra, and the Sinaitic peninsula.
		Another North-Arabian kingdom was that of Hira, situated in the north-easterly frontier of Arabia adjoining Irak, or Babylonia.

		Israel and her neighbors have unique and world class natural, cultural, historical, and religious sites that cry out for regional development.

		The coral reefs in the Gulf of Aqaba and the unique features of the Dead Sea need development of new touristic facilities from hotels and restaurants to museums and nature centers.
