概要

In this episode of The History of Jordan, Lucas and Luna take you beyond Petra and Jerash to the lesser-known but equally fascinating Roman frontier fortifications along the Limes Arabicus. Spanning from the 2nd to the 5th centuries, these forts, watchtowers, and legionary bases like El-Lejjun, Qasr Bshir, and Da'janiya formed a 1,500-kilometer defensive line protecting Rome's eastern provinces from nomadic raids and Sassanian incursions. Learn how the Third Cyrenaica Legion was stationed here, how Emperor Diocletian strengthened the frontier, and how archaeological excavations reveal daily life—from imported wine amphorae to local pottery. The episode also explores the transition from Roman to Byzantine control, the impact of the 363 Galilee earthquake, and the eventual abandonment of the forts as the Sassanians advanced in the 7th century. Filled with vivid detail and human stories, this episode brings Rome's desert borderlands to life. #LimesArabicus #RomanEmpire #ElLejjun #QasrBshir #SyriaPalaestina #Diocletian #ThirdCyrenaicaLegion #Sassanians #Palmyra #Zenobia #ByzantineEmpire #DesertFortresses #Archaeology #RomanFrontier #JordanHistory #MiddleEast #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
