EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and history of the Roman colonnade at Jerash, also known as Gerasa, in Jordan, a significant city in the Holy Land. Dating back to the 1st century AD, this ancient Roman city is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Middle East. The Roman colonnade, with its intricately carved Corinthian columns and entablature, stands proudly amidst the rocky terrain, a reminder of the classical architecture that once dominated this region during the Roman Empire. The ruins of the colonnade, which were likely used for public gatherings and ceremonies, have weathered the test of time, with the stones bearing the marks of the passage of centuries. The sun casts long shadows over the structure, adding an ethereal quality to the scene, as if transporting us back to a time when the city was bustling with life. Jerash, located in northern Jordan, is a popular tourist destination and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city's well-preserved ruins, including the Roman theater, the hippodrome, and the Oval Plaza, offer visitors a glimpse into the past and a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the Middle East. This photograph, taken in the 1920s, offers a rare and captivating glimpse into the past, a time when the Roman colonnade at Jerash stood as a symbol of power and prosperity.
