Nymphaeum, Jerash, Jordan

Nymphaeum, monumental fountain built 191 AD, Jerash, Jordan. This large fountain niche was faced with marble and painted plaster and was dedicated to the Nymphs. Water cascaded through carved lion heads into basins and then through drains into the sewer system. 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.
