Jerash.

Jerash was a city founded by Alexander the Great around 320BC, but the ruins are from the Roman period. It is said to be the best preserved Roman city outside Italy and it was very interesting for a history-interested man like me to walk through it. We entered through the triumph arch built for the visit of emperor Hadrian.

The carving was very detailed.

All essential parts of a Roman city were there like the hippodrom

an amphitheater

a temple for Zeus/Jupiter

a  Cardia Maximus, main street, with pilars

and of course a Forum, which was actually a building site for a festival

I was just as much fascinated by the details as by the buildings and places like inscriptions, pilar tops etc.

I really enjoyed Jerash
