Description
Deutsch: Der Triumphbogen (Hadriansbogen) im Süden der römischen Stadt Gerasa (heute: Jerasa) in Jordanien. Der dreiteilige Triumphbogen wurde laut Inschrift zum Gedenken an den Besuch Kaiser Hadrians im Winter 129/130 n. Chr. errichtet. Das Bauwerk ist 25 m breit und ca. 21,5 m hoch. Der Hauptdurchgang ist 6 m breit und knapp 11 m hoch, während die beiden seitlichen Eingänge 2,5 m breit und über 5 m hoch sind. Der Oberbau über dem Scheitelpunkt des Mittelbogens konnte seit den 1980er Jahren von der jordanischen Antikenverwaltung praktisch vollständig aus den heruntergefallenen antiken Trümmersteinen rekonstruiert werden (Quelle: Franz Rainer Scheck: Jordanien. Völker und Kulturen zwischen Jordan und Rotem Meer, DuMont Kunstreiseführer, Köln 1997, ISBN 3-7701-3979-8, S.163f.).
English: The Triumphal Arch (Hadrian's Arch) in the south of the Roman city of Gerasa (now Jerash) in Jordan. The tripartite triumphal arch was erected in commemoration of emperor Hadrian's visit to the city in 129/130 AD. The building is 25 m wide and ca. 21.5 m high. The main entrance is 6 m wide and 11 m high, while the side entrances are 2.5 m wide and 5 m high. The upper part above the peak of the main arch has been practically completely restored by the Department of Antiquities of Jordan by reusing the ancient ashlar around the arch (Source: Franz Rainer Scheck: Jordanien. Völker und Kulturen zwischen Jordan und Rotem Meer, DuMont Kunstreiseführer, Köln 1997, ISBN 3-7701-3979-8, p.163f.).
