Amman's Roman Theater is a 6,000-seat, 2nd-century Roman theatre. It dates back to the Roman period when the city was known as Philadelphia. The theatre was built during the reign of Antonius Pius (138-161 CE). Built into the hillside, it was oriented north to keep the sun off the spectators. From Wikipedia
We arrived after closing but the theater still looked spectacular!
No 51 the Jung built 2-8-2 loco crosses a fine viaduct out from Az-Zarga just north of Amman. A wider shot shows that the gully doubles up at the town's rubbish tip.
