Headline | Main Street in Ancient Gadara |
Image title | This is one of two main streets that intersect in ancient Gadara. The paving is all original and dates from around 2,200 years ago. The columns are nearly 400 years newer -- from the 2nd century AD -- and were stood up after being uncovered by archeologists. Elsewhere along the road, archeologists left many of the columns laying down where they had been put during the Byzantine period when the graceful Roman colonnade was convered into a fortified wall. If you look closely at the paving stones, you can see the ruts left by thousands of ancient carts and chariots. |
