That map shows the Romans had a presence in Arabia, how large was it? What was the history of it?

None. There was no Roman presence. That map is just showing the "World" of the Mediterranean, and trade routes, in the 3rd century.

There was one Roman expedition into Arabia, but it failed miserably due to failure of knowledge of the geography and climate of the region. The Red Sea is an extremely inhospitable Sea to traverse (where do you go for water?), if you do not know its geography, and if you are not locally supplied.
