About This Item
New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux , 1965. xii + 650 pp. & 220 plates, 5 maps & 8 plans. Archaeological discoveries in modern Transjordan, once the land of the ancient Nabataeans, who flourished in the first centuries B.C. and A.D. Their kingdom extended from Transjordan across the Negev to Sinai and from Arabia to Syria, controlling Damascus; their capital was Petra. Interesting study of a little known people and culture that occupied a central position in the Middle East circa 200 B.C. to 200 A.D. Originating as a nomadic culture in southern Arabia, the Nabataeans monopolized the caravan trade that passed from the coast of the Eastern Mediterranean to the interior of Arabia and established their capital at the ancient rock-cut city of Petra in what is now Syria, before eventually being assimilated into the Roman Empire during the reign of Nero. Light chipping/wear to dj.. 1st Printing. Cloth. Very Good/Very Good(-). 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
