'''Elusa / Haluza'''  (Halutsa, Halasa) was one of the [[Nabatean Cities]] (then Roman and Byzantine) in the [[Negev]].
 
==Overview==
 
The city was established by the [[Nabateans]] in the [[Negev]] as a road station for their caravans along the [[Incense Route]] connecting [[Petra]] with [[Gaza]].
 
Like in the other Nabatean cities in the area -- [[Oboda]], [[Mampsis]], [[Nessana]], [[Rehovot]], and [[Sobata]] - agricultural project were carried out to sustain the population.
 
The Roman conquest of 106 CE brought about new periods of prosperity that continued in the Byzantine period. The city was destroyed, probably by earthquake, and abandoned in the 7th century.
