Jordan, Jerash (Ancient Gerasa), The Oval Forum in Jerash, and the Cardo Maximus7 viewsThe Greco-Roman city of Gerasa, the Oval Forum in Jerash, and the Cardo Maximus, with modern Jerash in the background.
Ancient Greek inscriptions from the city support that the city was founded by Alexander the Great and his general Perdiccas, who allegedly settled aged Macedonian soldiers there during the spring of 331 BC, when he left Egypt and crossed Syria en route to Mesopotamia. However, other sources, namely the city's former name of "Antioch on the Chrysorrhoas, point to a founding by Seleucid King Antioch IV, while still others attribute the founding to Ptolemy II of Egypt.
After the Roman conquest in 63 BC, Jerash and the land surrounding it were annexed to the Roman province of Syria, and later joined the Decapolis league of cities. The historian Josephus mentions the city as being principally inhabited by Syrians, and also having a small Jewish community.[19] In AD 106, Jerash was absorbed into the Roman province of Arabia, which included the city of Philadelphia (modern day Amman). The Romans ensured security and peace in this area, which enabled its people to devote their efforts and time to economic development and encouraged civic building activity.[20]
Jerash is considered one of the largest and most well-preserved sites of Roman architecture in the world outside Italy. And is sometimes misleadingly referred to as the "Pompeii of the Middle East" or of Asia, referring to its size, extent of excavation and level of preservation.
Jerash was the birthplace of the mathematician Nicomachus of Gerasa (Greek: Νικόμαχος) (c. 60 – c. 120 AD).
In the second half of the 1st century AD, the city of Jerash achieved great prosperity. In AD 106, the Emperor Trajan constructed roads throughout the province, and more trade came to Jerash. The Emperor Hadrian visited Jerash in AD 129–130. The triumphal arch (or Arch of Hadrian) was built to celebrate his visit.
The city finally reached a size of about 800,000 square meters within its walls. The Persian invasion in AD 614 caused the rapid decline of Jerash. Beneath the foundations of a Byzantine church that was built in Jerash in AD 530 there was discovered a mosaic floor with ancient Greek and Hebrew-Aramaic inscriptions. The presence of the Hebrew-Aramaic script has led scholars to think that the place was formerly a synagogue, before being converted into a church.

Roman Empire, Elagabalus, RIC IVb 14618 viewsA silver denarius of the notorious Elagabalus (218-222 AD). He was actually only called Elagabalus after his death; his real name as Emperor was, confusingly, Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Pius Augustus. He served in his youth as the high priest of Elagabal, the sun-god of his home city of Emesa (modern Homs, Syria, currently a hotspot in the Syrian Civil War). He was allegedly an eccentric sicko, and after only four years of rule, he was assassinated at 18 years of age by the Praetorian Guards under orders from his own grandmother (I guess he should have visited her more often?) and replaced by his cousin, Alexander Severus. The front of the coin shows Elagabalus wearing a laurel crown with the inscription IMP ANTONINVS PIVS AVG = "Commander-In-Chief and Emperor Antoninus Pius". There is actually a horn projecting from his head below his laurel crown, too, as a symbol of his divinity -- it looks like part of the laurel crown on this specimen. The back shows Elagabalus again conducting a sacrifice over an altar, with the inscription SVMMVS SACERDOS AVG = "The Emperor, Highest Priest". Minted in Rome, 221-222 AD.pfrederiksen
