Archaeologists have uncovered a 2,000-year-old temple built by the ancient Nabataeans, marking their first known construction outside the Middle East.
The sanctuary confirms a community from the Nabataean region was involved in the commercial activities of Puteoli, showcasing their influence in Roman trade.
Latin inscriptions found within the temple indicate a blend of Nabataean and Roman cultures, highlighting their interaction and the resulting architectural influences.
The discovery, masked by layers of volcanic activity, emphasizes the historical significance of ancient trade routes and the Nabataeans' prosperity during their relationship with Rome.
