EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur and history of the Propylaeum at Jerash, also known as Gerasa, in the Holy Land of Jordan during the 1920s. The Propylaeum, a set of monumental gateways, serves as the impressive entrance to the ancient Temple of Artemis. This architectural masterpiece, a fine example of Roman classical architecture, dates back to the 2nd century AD. The Propylaeum, with its intricately carved stones and columns, stands proudly amidst the ruins and rubble of the once great city of Jerash. The Temple of Artemis, a sacred site dedicated to the goddess of hunting and fertility, was a significant religious and cultural center during the Roman occupation of the Middle East. The Propylaeum, with its grandeur and imposing presence, has weathered the test of time, surviving the passage of centuries. The 1920s photograph shows the structure in a state of partial ruin, with debris and stones scattered around it. Yet, despite the damage, the Propylaeum remains a powerful symbol of the rich history and cultural heritage of the region. The Propylaeum's intricate stone carvings and classical architecture are a testament to the artistic and engineering skills of the ancient Romans. The ruins of Jerash, with its many impressive structures, continue to attract visitors from around the world, who come to marvel at the history and beauty of this ancient city in the Middle East.
