The Nabataean kingdom, also named Nabatea (Arabic:نبطية; many times spelled Nabatean), was an Arabic political state of the Nabataeans on the territory of modern Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Israel which existed during classical antiquity and was annexed by the Roman Empire in AD 106. The Romans claimed the Nabataean Kingdom and renamed it Arabia Petrea.
