During its rule by the [[Roman Empire|Roman]] and [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]] empires from the 2nd to the 7th centuries, the city formed part of the [[Arabia Petraea|Provincia Arabia]] set up by the Roman Emperor [[Trajan]] to replace the [[Nabataean]] kingdom of [[Petra]].

In his memoirs, the German Count von Rantzau reports about his friend Sultan Gin-Achmed, Royal Prince of Madaba <ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.de/books?id=9gZcAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA28&lpg=PA28&dq=Helmstadt+Sultan+Gin+Achmet+Prince+Royal+Madaba+Universit%C3%A9&source=bl&ots=d9M0XHieem&sig=OEzR3FvNH15Lw5Yqzw8EpLa6ZtE&hl=de&sa=X&ei=TASVVY6NKsOfyAP0756wBQ&ved=0CCQQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Helmstadt%20Sultan%20Gin%20Achmet%20Prince%20Royal%20Madaba%20Universit%C3%A9&f=false |author=Rantzow, George Louis Albert|title=Mémoires du comte de Rantzow|pages=28–29|publisher=[[Oxford University Press]]}}</ref> both studying at Helmstedt University, Germany in 1729 and meeting again in Paris ten years later.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.de/books?id=9gZcAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA279&lpg=PA279&dq=sensible+plaisir+rue+St.+Andr%C3%A9++Arts++Sultan-Gin+Achmet&source=bl&ots=d9M0XHfblk&sig=WDK5sSdFhgzg0J3hgOZ-nhp5crQ&hl=de&sa=X&ei=rfeUVfnVBuWiyAO8yLvAAQ&ved=0CCQQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=sensible%20plaisir%20rue%20St.%20Andr%C3%A9%20%20Arts%20%20Sultan-Gin%20Achmet&f=false |author=Rantzow, George Louis Albert|title=Mémoires du comte de Rantzow|pages=279–283|publisher=[[Oxford University Press]]}}</ref>

 

The first mosaics were discovered during the building of new houses using [[ashlar|bricks]] from [[spolia|older buildings]]. The new inhabitants of Madaba, made conscious of the importance of the mosaics by their priests, made sure that they took care of and preserved all the mosaics that came to light.

The Institute of Mosaic Art and Restoration was originally created in 1992 as the Madaba Mosaic School, and funded by the Italian Government. It was a high school which offered the Tawjihi, the Jordanian equivalent of a high school diploma. In 2007, the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, under the Department of Antiquities partnered with USAID's [[Jordan Tourism Development Project (Siyaha)|Siyaha]] tourism development project, and a rejuvenated Italian commitment to launch the Institute as a 2-year, post-Tawjihi program.

The aim of the Institute is to be a center of excellence in the region, and to train locals on a scientific level to conserve and restore the many ancient mosaics found in Jordan. Students are also taught traditional and modern methods of mosaic production, as well as Computer Aided Design (CAD), Arabic, English, geology, and chemistry. Soon, students will also be able to transfer their credits to [[Yarmouk University]] to complete a BA in Archaeology with a further two years of study.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.siyaha.org/nl/newsletterissue/articles.php?issue=62&id=279 |title=Periodic Newsletter/ Siyaha - Jordan Tourism Development Project |publisher=Siyaha.org |date= |accessdate=2015-09-27}}</ref>

Madaba has been chosen to house new universities ([[American University of Madaba]]) and a new settlement operation not far from the historic city will house over 600 villas. Kuwaiti corporations are now funding the construction of new office buildings to be built in Madaba.

 

Madaba’s main attraction is its Byzantine mosaics, drawing many visitors, especially since the creation of an archaeological park. They cover the floors of houses and churches dating from the site’s earliest period of habitation.

 

 

At the southern entrance to Madaba, near the King’s Highway, is the Church of the Apostles. The ruins of this Byzantine church date to 578 CE, and are currently being restored. It includes a mosaic known as the "Personification of the Sea", depicting a woman emerging from the sea, surrounded by mythical aquatic creatures and a hodgepodge of rams, bulls, parrots and exotic vegetation. The mosaic was signed by a mosaicist named Salamanios.
