Domitian, 13 September 81 - 18 September 96 A.D., Canata, Decapolis
|Decapolis,| |Arabia| |&| |Syria|, |Domitian,| |13| |September| |81| |-| |18| |September| |96| |A.D.,| |Canata,| |Decapolis|, Catana, Qanawat Syria today, is probably the city called Kenath in the Bible (Numbers 32:42, 1 Chronicles 2:23). The Hellenistic-Roman city of Kanatha, is mentioned for the first time in the reign of Herod the Great, when Nabataean forces defeated a Jewish army. It remained an issue of contention between the two powers. From Pompey's time until Trajan's, it was a city of the Decapolis, a loose federation of cities allowed by the Romans to enjoy a degree of autonomy. Under Trajan, it was annexed to the Roman province of Syria. Septimius Severus refounded it as the Roman colony Septimia Canatha and transferred it to the province of Arabia.
