“Josephus’ Nabataeans: A Vision of Roman Power in the Near East.” Journal of Ancient History 8.2 (2020): 1-25. doi.org/10.1515/jah-2019-0018.

In this article, I investigate Josephus’ contributions to Nabataean history and the differences in his retellings in his two major works. Though problematic due to his pro-Roman point of view in Antiquitates Judaicae, Josephus has preserved a unique look into Roman-Nabataean relations in the two centuries prior to the incorporation of Nabataea into the Empire.
