2,000-year-old Roman military bases have been discovered in the desert of Saudi Arabia. A group of archaeologists from the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom found these military bases.
 PR Review reports on this recent find in Antiquities, an international scientific journal on archeology initiated by the research team.
 It is known that, a century after the birth of Jesus Christ, in 106 AD, the Roman Empire took away a significant part of the entire Arabian Peninsula, including present-day Saudi Arabia, from the then Nabataean dynasty. From then until the advent of Islam, Saudi Arabia was under the Roman Empire.
Research suggests that the region of the Arabian Peninsula known as Jordan was the capital of the Nabatean dynasty. The areas where the military bases were found are close to the Saudi-Jordanian border. Established by the Roman army. It is not known how many bases have been found in total, but the distance between each base is 37 to 44 km. Because of this distance, it was considered almost impossible for any infantry force to launch an all-out assault on all the bases in one day. However, when these bases were prepared in 106 AD, the Roman army was still at war with the army led by the Nabataean rulers, Oxford archaeologists said.
