JERASH

Jerash was conquered by General Pompey in 63 BC; it came under Roman rule and was one of the ten great Roman cities. The site is now generally acknowledged to be one of the best preserved Graeco-Roman cities in the world. It was hidden for centuries in sand before being excavated and restored over the past 70 years.
