O wykładzie
The Nabataeans were a Semitic people on the Arabian Peninsula during the Greco-Roman period. Their lifestyle as caravaneers, and the remarkable beauty of their capital city of Petra, have stirred scholarly interest and imagination. Two features of Nabatean existence have received particular attention: their nomadic lifestyle as traders, on the one hand, and their religious behaviour, on the other, especially as reflected in the archaeological data that continue to be uncovered at Petra.
The history of the Nabataeans and their socio-cultural development is an underdeveloped research area. The Nabataeans themselves left no written sources that document historical or political events from their own perspective. Nevertheless, there are different sources from which one can reconstruct aspects of the social and cultural life of this people and reconstruct chronological and dynastic sequences. These sources can be broadly divided into historical and archaeological. The former include Biblical, Greek and Roman accounts; the latter include elements of material culture, especially pottery and architecture. Falling somewhere between the two categories are the extensive epigraphic and numismatic data.
