Roman Amphitheatre Amman. Another Reason to Visit Jordan
Roman Amphitheatre Amman
Looking for travel inspiration for your next vacation? Take a look at my series of reasons to visit Jordan. They will surprise, excite and make you want to go there. This one is the Roman Amphitheatre in Amman.
The gorgeous Roman Amphitheatre in Amman Jordan is a good reason to make a trip to the city. The magnificent structure holds over 6,000 people and would host gladiator combats and release wild animals to fight prisoners. It is incredibly well-preserved and maintained and so more sedate and highbrow events and festivals are still hosted here. It was built around 138 to 160 AD when the city was called Philadelphia by the Romans. There is a small museum inside which houses traditional dress, artifacts and mosaics.
