Summary
[edit]DescriptionBosra Amphitheater.jpg |
English: Bosra is located in the Horan Plain and was first mentioned in the 14th-century-BC Hieroglyphics of Akhnatoun and Thutmos III. The city became the capital of the Nabatean kingdom a thousand years later. Bosra also experienced Greek, Roman, and Byzantine reign as well as Arab Muslim and Mongol invasions. Although it was under the control of various cultural groups, the city flourished the most under and was greatly influenced by the Romans, and this is most evident in the Bosra Amphitheater, which is the ancient city’s most impressive feature. The amphitheater was built by the Romans in the 2nd century AD, and despite being converted into a fortress by the Ayubids during the Crusades, the original theater has been miraculously preserved. It can accommodate up to 15,000 spectators and has a stage that is almost 148 feet long and approximately 26 feet deep. |
