Oval Precinct
The impressive columns at the Oval Precinct in Jerash, which is often referred to as the "Forum". Jerash was part of the Decapolis League of Rome and while excavation works still continue, this is easily one of the best preserved Roman ruins in existence.

Jerash
The ancient city of Jerash is still being excavated and restored. Pillars like these, which are typical of any Roman city, are scattered along the landscape.
