Excavation of the Small Temple of Petra, Jordan has revealed a
Roman building likely dedicated to the imperial cult. Constructed
in the wake of Roman annexation of Nabataea in 106 CE, the temple
would have helped to solidify Roman control. Reid systematically
examines the evidence used to support the identification of the
Small Temple as an imperial cult building through the discussion of
its prominent use of marble, a material with Roman imperial
associations and almost entirely monopolized by the bureaucracy of
the Roman Empire. The analysis of architectural evidence, as well
as the placement of the Small Temple within the city, also support
this identification.
