Oxford archaeologists make a 'spectacular' new find of Roman military camps in Arabian desert.
Archaeologists have identified three undiscovered Roman fortified camps across northern Arabia.
It said it could be evidence of an "undocumented military campaign" across south east Jordan into Saudi Arabia. In the report, published in the journal Antiquity, he explained his conclusion was based on the "typical playing card shape of the enclosures with opposing entrances along each side".The research team believes they may have been part of a previously undiscovered Roman military campaign "linked to the Roman takeover of the Nabataean Kingdom in 106 AD, a civilisation centred on the world-famous city of Petra, located in Jordan".
"Roman forts and fortresses show how Rome held a province but temporary camps reveal how they acquired it in the first place," he explained.
