ABSTRACT Mudayna as-Saliya is a fortress site at the summit of an isolated promontory near the eastern end of Wadi Mujib, central Jordan. Archaeological surveys of the site have exposed potential evidence of Iron Age and classical period use with its occupational zenith in the late Hellenistic-early Roman period. The ruin on the surface is remarkably similar in architectural and hydrological design to the fortress of Machaerus. This paper, based on available survey data, suggests that the Hasmoneans were responsible for the construction of the fortress at Mudayna as-Saliya, which was reused by the Nabateans during the early Roman period. Finding a potential Hasmonean desert fortress on the desert fringe of eastern Transjordan was unexpected, and it might have significant ramifications for the study of Hasmonean, Herodian, and Nabatean kingdoms in central Jordan.

位于约旦中部 Khirbat Mudayna as-Saliya 的晚期希腊化-早期罗马堡垒

摘要 Mudayna as-Saliya 是位于约旦中部 Wadi Mujib 东端附近一个孤立海角山顶的堡垒遗址。该遗址的考古调查揭示了铁器时代和古典时期使用的潜在证据，其在希腊化晚期 - 罗马早期的职业顶峰。表面上的废墟在建筑和水文设计上与 Machaerus 堡垒非常相似。这篇论文根据现有的调查数据表明，哈斯蒙尼人负责建造穆代纳阿萨利亚堡垒，该堡垒在罗马早期被纳巴泰人重新使用。在外约旦东部沙漠边缘发现潜在的 Hasmonean 沙漠堡垒是出乎意料的，它可能对 Hasmonean、Herodian、
