Description
How did the Nabataeans view their world at the time of the Roman annexation in CE 106?
If it is possible to detect an altered perception after their monarchy was dissolved at that time, how can we be sure it was authentic and not a veneer, masking the identity of a disaffected people?
One approach is to consider religious practice as a diagnostic for identity within Nabataean society.
Religious practice is examined through the ceramic oil lamp, a ubiquitous vessel that can portray socio-political and religious symbolism and cultural hybridization.
