Shops lining the street below the basilica terrace leading to the West theatre, Umm Qais, Irbid, Jordan. This paved Roman street, the Decumanus Maximus, was a commercial centre, in parts lined with tabernae or traders' stalls. The basalt columns of the basilica can be seen above. The site was founded in the 4th century BC as Gadara, a Hellenistic town, which was developed by the Romans and later by Christians from the 4th century. It was destroyed by earthquakes in the 8th century and the ruins discovered in 1806.
