Tomb of the Roman Soldier, Rock-cut tomb in Petra, Jordan.
The tomb features three larger-than-life stone figures positioned between four columns on its 12-meter-high limestone facade in Wadi Farasa.
Dating from the first century AD, this burial structure predates the Roman annexation of 106 AD and contains evidence of Nabataean royal influence.
The central figure wears military cuirass decorated with flowers, while two young males with long hair stand in contrapposto position beside him.
Visitors can access the tomb through a large courtyard with porticos, exploring both the main burial chamber and an adjacent 9-meter room.
The tomb complex includes water cisterns, a formal dining area with triple benches, and window openings that illuminate the 13 by 15-meter chamber.
