ancient city of Jerash, built in the 2nd Century BC, is one
of the best preserved Roman towns in the world. Among the massive
ruins, we walked through the Hippodrome, site of athletic competitions
and chariot races, and the Temple of Artemis, daughter of Zeus
and sister of Appollo. We even heard a bagpipe concert. Excavation
of Jerash began in 1925 and continues today. |
