**The Start Of The Bostran Era**
The Bostran era started after Trajan annexed the Nabataean kingdom on 22nd March 106 AD. The era was named after Bostra, a town in modern day Syria, which housed the headquarters of the Roman Sixth Legion. Dates from the Bostran calendar were used on commemorative and honorific inscriptions in the province of Arabia Petraea.
