Il Castello di Lucera

The Castle in Lucera
The temple was built on one of the highest points and dominated the whole city, and supposedly was the most beautiful and important temple of ancient Gerasa, containing fine marble panelling and a richly decorated cult statues within the cellars.
Artemis was the patron goddess of the city and was highly esteemed by the Hellenistic population of Gerasa, while the Semitic part of the population preferred Zeus. Construction of the temple was finished in 150 AD, during the reign of Emperor Antoninus Pius.
Built in the 2nd century AD, the columns are 12 m high and each drum weighs 20-40 tons.
Jerash (or Gerasa), is situated 48 kilometres north of Jordan’s capital Amman. It is the best preserved cities of the Roman Decapolis and its high point was in the 2nd century, when it had a population of 20,000-25,000.
Its geographical features vary from cold mountains to fertile valleys from 250 to 300 metres above sea level, suitable for growing a wide variety of crops.
Despite a long history (there are suggestions it was inhabited 6500 years ago) the Crusaders (1100 AD) described Jerash as uninhabited, and it remained abandoned until its rediscovery in 1806, when Ulrich Jasper Seetzen, a German traveler, came across and recognized a small part of the ruins.
The ancient city was buried in sand, which accounts for its remarkable preservation. It has been gradually revealed through a series of excavations which commenced in 1925, and continue to this day.
In fact 80% of this city is still undiscovered; literally buried beneath our feet.
Also referred to as Antioch on the Golden River, it is sometimes misleadingly referred to as the "Pompeii of the Middle East", referring to its size, extent of excavation and level of preservation (though Jerash was never buried by a volcano).
Jerash became an urban centre during the 3rd century BC and a member of the federation of Greek cities known as the Decapolis ("ten cities" in Greek). It prospered during the 1st century BC as a result of its position on the incense and spice trade route from the Arabian Peninsula to Syria and the Mediterranean region.
It was a favourite city of the Roman emperor, Hadrian, and reached its zenith in AD 130 when he stayed for nearly a year, during which time it flourished economically and socially.
The city began to decline in the 3rd century, later becoming a Christian city under the rule of the Byzantine empire. The Muslims took over in AD 635, but the final blow to the city was dealt by Baldwin II of Jerusalem in AD 1112 during the Crusades.
Modern Jerash sprawls to the east of the ruins, sharing the same city wall but little else. Thankfully, the ruins have been carefully preserved and spared from encroachment.

Five Points Encounter
03/31/2016
As I sat with two of my friends outside of a pizzeria in Atlanta a towering homeless man approached us. He asked for a slice of pizza & referred to himself as ‘Beast”. He explained his situation, which ultimately compelled me to cut him a slice of pizza & hand it to him. Beast then caught sight of my camera & asked if I was a journalist. Before I could respond he enthusiastically offered to bring over three of his friends, leading me to take this photograph. I’ll leave deciphering who Beast is up to you.
The thing that struck me the most about this encounter was the way these four people worked off of each other. Their bond in the dire circumstances of living out on the streets of Atlanta drew them toward each other. You could even say that they’re a family despite not being tied by blood. It was a humbling moment that showed me how people undergoing the same struggle can become so closely knit together.
