The Roman period in Jordan began in 63 BC when General Pompey occupied the regions northwest of the Nabataean Kingdom.It is considered to end with the reign of the Roman Emperor Constantine, who officially permitted and promoted Christanity in 324. Although the empire continued to be called Roman, the cultural changes that followed permit the designation of a new era - the Byzantine Period.
