Batanaea

Batanaea or Batanea was an area often mentioned between the 1st century BC until the 4 Century AD. It is often mixed with the biblical Bashan as its Hellenized/Latinised form (of Bashan) and as a part of the Biblical Holy Land, north-east of the Jordan River. But according to old explorations, maps and research the Batanea was much more a part between the two Trachones mentioned by Strabon. Many Maps reveal that the Ard of Batanea was at the east of the Leja. ( the common Herodian Trachonitis.)

Bashan was in biblical Content, the whole region East of the Jordan, above Gadara and Abila until the Jebel el Druz, the old Hauran (Bashan) Mountains.
