Jordanie: La ville romaine de Gerasa à Jerash, c. 1898-1914. Des fouilles récentes montrent que Jerash était déjà habité pendant l'âge de bronze (3200 BCE - 1200 BCE). Après la conquête romaine en 63 av. J.-C., Jerash et les terres qui l'entourent ont été annexées par la province romaine de Syrie, et plus tard ont rejoint les villes de Décapole. En 90 EC, Jerash fut absorbé dans la province romaine d'Arabie, qui comprenait la ville de Philadelphie (aujourd'hui Amman). Les Romains ont assuré la sécurité et la paix dans ce domaine, ce qui a permis à leur peuple de consacrer leurs efforts et leur temps au développement économique.

Recent excavations show that Jerash was already inhabited during the Bronze Age (3200 BCE - 1200 BCE). After the Roman conquest in 63 BC, Jerash and the land surrounding it were annexed by the Roman province of Syria, and later joined the Decapolis cities. In 90 CE, Jerash was absorbed into the Roman province of Arabia, which included the city of Philadelphia (modern day Amman). The Romans ensured security and peace in this area, which enabled its people to devote their efforts and time to economic development and encouraged civic building activity. In the second half of the first century CE, the city of Jerash achieved great prosperity. In 106 CE, the Emperor Trajan constructed roads throughout the provinces and more trade came to Jerash. The Emperor Hadrian visited Jerash in 129-130 CE. The triumphal arch (or Arch of Hadrian) was built to celebrate his visit. The city finally reached a size of about 800, 000 square metres within its walls. The Persian invasion in 614 CE caused the rapid decline of Jerash. However, the city continued to flourish during the Umayyad Period, as shown by recent excavations. In 749 CE, a major earthquake destroyed much of Jerash and its surroundings. During the period of the Crusades, some of the monuments were converted to fortresses, including the Temple of Artemis. Small settlements continued in Jerash during the Ayyubid, Mameluk and Ottoman periods. Excavation and restoration of Jerash has been almost continuous since the 1920s.
