The Forum at Jerash (modern Jordan)

The Forum at Jerash (modern Jordan)

Although built in the late Roman Empire, the Forum at Jerash (modern Jordan), like the city itself, lived a remarkably long life. Just down the street from the intersection seen here, to the north, a congregational mosque would be built in the early eighth century CE. The urban transformation is described by H. Dey, The Afterlife of the Roman City (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2015) 216–19.
