The Late Roman fort at Yotvata is located in the southern Arava
some 40 km north of Eilat/Aqaba (ancient Aila). The modern Hebrew
name of the site is based on its suggested identification with
biblical Jotbathah (Deut 10:7), where the Israelites encamped
during their desert wanderings. The modern Arabic name of the site,
Ein Ghadian, may preserve the ancient Roman name Ad Dianam. Because
the Late Roman fort at Yotvata is visible as a low mound next to
the Arava road, it has long been known to scholars. Each June
between 2003 and 2007, Gwyn Davies (Florida International
University) and Jodi Magness (University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill) co-directed excavations here. This volume provides the
results of those excavations, adding substantially to our knowledge
of Roman defenses in the third and fourth centuries of the Common
Era, along the trade route that traversed the southern Arava and on
the eastern frontier of the Empire.
