Jordan – Jerash Ancient Roman City (1)

Modern Jerash is a modest city 40 miles north of Amman.
It was originally established as a major Roman Empire outpost in the Middle East that flourished from the 2nd to the 5th centuries CE.
Today the ruins of this extensive ancient city offer an impressive glimpse into the brilliant design, engineering and construction skills of that time.
