Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Part of the seats.
The South Theatre is, after or along with the Artemis Temple, considered to be the most attractive part of Jerash. It has been restored in 1925 (during which, according to "Jordan", a German book by Dumont publishers, some errors have been made in the reconstruction of the stage building). Four different types of stone have been used building this Roman type theatre. Its 32 rows of benches, divided in two by a diazoma halfway up, could seat some 3500 visitors. Two inscriptions have been found referring to gifts to the theatre, indicating that it was being built during Domitian (81-96 AD), though more recently found inscriptions indicate the actual building period was probably 90-92. Traces of (much later) Umayyad re-use have been found. An earthquake, maybe one in 747 destroyed it. |
