Résumé : | This article aims to apply to the Roman Near East a territorial reading of the religious spaces within the political and institutional frame of a Roman Province. The strengths and weaknesses of typo-chronological approaches are raised. The distribution of the religious spaces is explored within Nabataean Petra, and then extended to the territory of the newly defined polis/civitas, of Petra, after the Roman annexation. Kh. edh-Dharih and Kh. et-Tannur are used as case studies through the analysis of their iconography, compared to contemporary buildings in both Rome and 2nd cent. ad Petra. |
