When the Nabataeans were defeated by the Romans in 106 AD, Petra became part of the Roman province of Arabia, but as the trade route changed, so did the increasing commercial decline.

The city remained unknown to the Western world after the Crusades until Johann Ludwig Barkardt, a Swiss traveler, discovered it in 1812.
