Rabba (Arabic: الربة) is a town in Jordan in the Karak Governorate. As Ancient Areopolis it's a former bishopric and present Latin Catholic titular see.
It is about 15 kilometers away from the city of Al Karak itself. It has a population of about 9,000.
Rabba has been known as Rabbath Moab. In the Hellenistic and Roman times it was called Areopolis. It is possibly the site of biblical Moabite city Ar.
Rabba is home to Nabatean ruins, which are located along the main street in the center of town. They consist of a temple and a cavernous ancient reservoir. There are many smaller ruins scattered all over town albeit not as extensive.
Areopolis was important enough in the Late Roman province of Palestina Tertia to become a suffragan of its capital Petra's Metropolitan Archbishopric, but was to fade.
In the 18th century, the diocese was nominally restored as a Latin Catholic titular bishopric Areopolis (Areopoli in Curiate Italian) and had the following incumbents of the fitting episcopal (lowest) rank :
I will clean and cover my windows
'Cos I don't want to see where the wind blows
I'll love it, I'll covet another one's idol
Because I am the queen of denial
I'll love it, I'll love it
I'll love it, I'll love it
The ego is the master of psyche
And envy tastes sweeter than grey meat
I'll love it and learn to follow behind all
Because I am the king of denial
I'll love it, I'll love it
I'll love it, I'll love it
The back will snap from burdens of envy
And I'll forget the mould who set me
I'll love it, and shove it from proof to trial
Because I carry the weight of denial
I'll love it, I'll love it
I'll love it, I'll love it
