Colonnaded Street or Cardo Maximus, running from the Forum to the North gate, 2nd century AD, Jerash, Jordan. This was the main road through Jerash and was lined with shops. The Forum can be seen in the distance on the right. The Greco-Roman town of Gerasa is thought to have been founded in 331 BC by Alexander the Great. It was conquered by Pompey in 63 BC and became a prosperous Roman town. Jerash was destroyed by an earthquake in 749 AD and its ruins were discovered in 1806 and the town excavated and reconstructed.
