Petra is an ancient city in modern Jordan, South of the Dead Sea, today in Jordan. The Nabataeans themselves called Petra Rqm (Rakmu), which means "multi-colored". Petra as the capital of the Nabataeans, attested since 312 BC (Diodorus Siculus (xix. 94–97probably reffers to Petra)1  but they occupied the site probably since the 6th century B.C., when they expelled Edomites from there. From the 3rd century BC the city's role increased significantly because, of its location at the crossroads of trade routes - from India to Egypt and from southern Arabia to Syria. This time Petra became an important communication and trade hub in this region. It reached its peak in the 1st century BC. It was annexed by the Romans under Trajan.

  1. It appears that such are the customs of the Arabs. But when the time draws near for the national gathering at which those who dwell round about are accustomed to meet, some to sell goods and others to purchase things that are needful to them, they travel to this meeting, leaving on a certain rock​ their possessions and their old men, also their women and their children. 2 This place is exceedingly strong but unwalled, and it is distant two days' journey from the settled country.
