Stone arch, probably an entrance gate, Jerash, Jordan. This arch is at the South end of the North Decumanus, a Roman street crossing the main Colonnaded Street or Cardo Maximus. The modern city of Jerash can be seen in the background. 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.
