“…However, this argument may not stand in the light of the discovery of a building inscription at Udhruh. The Latin inscription published by Kennedy and Falahat clearly indicates that the fortress was constructed early in the fourth century AD (Kennedy and Falahat , 160–6). However, it does not decisively exclude the possible existence of an earlier Roman military post, as suggested by some words in the text (Kennedy and Falahat , 161).…”

“…Additionally, development in this area is also slow, and recent and earlier travellers would have reported the road had it existed north of Udhruh (i.e Doughty ; Wallin , 121–30). However, a road connecting Udhruh to its suburbs like al‐Jerba and Shawbak in the north‐west and Maan in the south‐east is expected (Kennedy and Falahat , 151). Graf (, 271–81) suggested a military road between Udhruh and other Roman military sites.…”

Summary This paper presents new evidence, based on systematic fieldwork, concerning the most likely path of the Roman road, the via nova Traiana, in the area between Petra and Ayn al‐Qana in southern Jordan. Special attention is given to the work of David Graf, the most recent fieldwork study, prior to the present investigation, dealing with the same issue, that of the via nova Traiana. It also presents a detailed description of the route of the Roman road, adds new information to Graf's study, and challenges some of his suggestions. The paper also considers other ancient roads that were directly connected to the Roman highway.

Since neither copy preserves any full original heading, the ofces held by the respective recipients are uncertain but, given the nature of the content, they may be reckoned to be military duces more probably than provincial praesides.…”

The aim of this quinquennial survey remains the same as its predecessor, as for the most part does the format, though the team is regrettably reduced by one. With an eye to the study of the Roman world, we hope to signal the most important newly published inscriptions, significant reinterpretations of previously published material, new trends in scholarship, recent studies that draw heavily on epigraphic sources, and noteworthy developments in the various aids to understanding inscriptions (both traditional printed material and electronic resources). In the context of this journal, the geographical range and chronological scope reflect the contours and history of the Roman state from its beginnings down to the end of the seventh century. As such, not only does the survey naturally take in Greek as well as Latin texts, but also epigraphic material in other languages relevant to the Roman world. In the hope that they might usefully reflect the various fields of primary interest to readers of this journal, we have maintained the categories established in the last survey. These comprise, after material of general interest and significance, principal divisions under the headings of (II) Government, law, and authority, (III) Cities, (IV) Funerary epigraphy, (V) Religions, and (VI) Language, literature, and onomastics. The structure of the first section has been changed somewhat in order to give greater prominence to those inscriptions here singled out as historical highlights. The organization of the discussion within each section (or subsection) generally moves between the thematic, chronological, and geographical, as seems to suit the material best.

“…Udhruḥ prospered during the Roman period. According to a Latin building inscription discovered at the site in 2005 (Kennedy & Falahat 2008), Udhruḥ was the base of a Roman legion and fortress in the early fourth century AD. The inscription, which consists of eight lines, ended the debate over the date of the Roman occupation of the site.…”
