In 106 CE the Romans added the territories of the former Nabataean Kingdom to their empire, thus creating a new province called Arabia. Although we have no contemporary literary sources about the events connected with the annexation, the legend Arabia adquisita on the first issued coins, rather than Arabia capta, together with the Trajan’s decision not to take on the title of Arabicus, has led some scholars to believe that the annexation of the Nabataean Kingdom was substantially peaceful. Recent archaeological discoveries and inscriptions can, however, give us more information regarding the events that occurred during the early years of the 2nd century CE.

纳巴泰王国有争议的吞并

公元 106 年，罗马人将前纳巴泰王国的领土添加到他们的帝国中，从而创建了一个名为阿拉伯的新行省。虽然我们没有关于与吞并有关的事件的当代文学资料，但第一次发行的硬币上的传说阿拉伯 aquisita 而不是阿拉伯 capta，再加上图拉真决定不采用阿拉比克斯的头衔，让一些学者相信纳巴泰王国的吞并基本上是和平的。然而，最近的考古发现和铭文可以为我们提供更多关于公元 2 世纪早期发生的事件的信息。
