Abstract

About fifteen rock.cut stibadia (i.e. circular or semi.circular dining.couches) have been recorded in Petra and its surroundings, together with dozens of rock.cut triclinia. A detailed survey fs fieldwork was carried out in 2010 and 2011, upgrading the documentation of these poorly studied structures. It brought a new understanding of their typology, contexts of use and datation. The rock.cut stibadia of Petra belong to two main categories: one associates a semi.circular dining.couch and a small rock.cut court in funerary contexts, the other is a rather circular structure that appears in religious contexts. Both groups find parallels in Alexandrian and Ptolemaic contexts, explaining their presence in the Nabataean capital.<br />SCOPUS: ar.j<br />info:eu-repo/semantics/published
