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.

The Amman Citadel is an archeological site at the center of downtown Amman, the capital of Jordan. The L-shaped hill is one of the seven hills that originally made up Amman. The Citadel has a long history of occupation by many great civilizations.
The Citadel witnessed the rise and fall of several different empires, among them the Assyrians, Babylonians, Romans, and Umayyads. It has attracted the interest of archaeologists from the early 20th century onward, including excavations by Italian archaeologists begun in 1930.
