{"product_id":"the-petra-pool-complex-leigh-ann-bedal-9781593331207","title":"The Petra Pool-Complex: A Hellenistic Paradeisos in the Nabataean Capital","description":"Excavations in the Lower Market in Petra (Jordan), capital of the ancient kingdom of Nabsataea, uncovered the remnants of a monumental pool-complex at the heart of the ancient city. It played an important role in the socio-political life of Petra during the Nabataean and Roman periods. The mere presence of a paradeidos in Petra symbolized the Nabataean king's power and helped to legitimize his place among contemporary rulers. The paradeisos is an example of a gratuitous display of conspicuous consumption, a symbol of the flourishing status of Petra during its Classical era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leigh-Ann Bedal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1593331207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781593331207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gorgias Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Leigh-Ann Bedal","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44129529364735,"sku":"9781593331207","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f6ab0ce1-e0b8-4c81-992c-6f7a35788223.jpg?v=1687464409","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-petra-pool-complex-leigh-ann-bedal-9781593331207","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
