Nabataean dedication to the goddess of Haiyan in Aramaic script. Petra, c. 1st century BCE.

The Nabataeans, also Nabateans, were ancient peoples of Jordan, whose oasis settlements in the time of Josephus (AD 37 c. 100), gave the name of Nabatene to the borderland between Syria and Arabia, from the Euphrates to the Red Sea. Their loosely-controlled trading network, which centered on strings of oases that they controlled, where agriculture was intensively practiced in limited areas, and on the routes that linked them, had no securely defined boundaries in the surrounding desert. Trajan conquered the Nabataean kingdom, annexing it to the Roman Empire, where their individual culture, easily identified by their characteristic finely-potted painted ceramics, became dispersed in the general Greco-Roman culture and was eventually lost.
