Vincent Poon :: Jerash (12-Sep)
 
Another well preserved ancient Roman city, with the usual temples, theatres and columns... though I must say the most impressive was the Oval plaza which was quite unique in those ancient cities I have visited; and of course the full-functioning hippodrome which they now host the R.A.C.E

Hadrian's Arch, it was built to honor the visit of Roman Emperor Hadrian
South Gate
Temple of Zeus and the South Theatre
The South Theatre, though a lot smaller than the one in Amman, still houses 3000 audiences in 32 rows

The Oval Plaza (forum)
An plaza is unusal for its shape and size, measures by 90m x 80m
It is so wide that even with my fish eye I cannot take the whole picture
I had to stand that far back to capture the whole Plaza

The Cardo Maximus, the city's main road, all the way from the Oval to the North gate (800m)
Along the Cardo Maximus...
Propylauem, gateway to the Temple of Artemis
Temple of Artemis, originally had 12 columns, but only 11 remains today, still the most impressive structure in here
