Arch of Hadrian

Emperor Hadrian was one of the four sages of the Roman Empire. In addition to the literary martial arts is also very powerful. The Middle East province in Rome is an important defense against the eastern empire. So the city Rome here invested a lot of financial and material resources to form a grand scale, which can be retained until now.

"Pompeii in the Middle East" is the reputation of people in the ancient city of Gerash in Jordan. After all, Gerash is outside Greece and Italy. It has so far protected the most complete and authentic ancient Greek ancient Roman-style urban ruins. The earthquake made the ancient city disappear in the ninth century BC. Forgotten by the world, buried in the vast desert, it was not until 1806 that the sky and the sun were again seen. Shengji will decline, prosperity and luxury have long been ash and smoke, only the broken walls and remnants are standing in the wind, and it seems to be still proof of the glory of that year. Today, this Hadrian Arc de Triomphe is the first stop to enter the ancient city of Gerash. Although it has been damaged and full of vicissitudes, it is still majestic. The various patterns on the stone pillars are beautiful and the craftsmanship is exquisite, reflecting the perfection and prosperity of the architectural sculpture art at that time. At first glance, it was so impressive. Imagine how exciting this magnificent ancient Roman city was before 2000? See the world with the fate

Hadrian's Arc de Triomphe is 11 meters high and has three arch passageways. It was built in the winter of AD129-130 to meet the visit of Roman Emperor Hadrian. The peak of the gate should not be less than 22 meters when it was originally built, and the arch is also equipped with wooden gates. In addition, it is not difficult to find Nabatean style features from other features (such as carved sculptural decoration, the main decorative sculpture of the gate column at the bottom rather than the top, etc.). This "Triumph" is not only the gate of the city of Gerash, but also symbolizes the significance of business. Walking into this "Monarch's Gate", it seems to open the space gate of that era, the glory of the past leaping before you.

From here you can see a honey-coloured assortment of columns and walls, some delicately carved with acanthus leaves, some solid and practical, extending all the way to a pale view of hills in the distance – just as the Roman architects intended.The gateway was originally twice this height and encompassed three enormous wooden doors.
