Southern Tetrapylon

The southern tetrapylon in Jerash is located at the central intersection of the Cardo maximus and the southern Decumanus (main road running east-west). A tetrapylon (Greek: τετράπυλον, "four gates"), plural tetrapyla, known in Latin as a "quadrifrons" (literally "four fronts"), is a type of ancient Roman monument of cubic shape, with a gate on each of the four sides: generally it was built on a crossroads.

The South Amphitheatre in the ancient Roman ruins of Jerash is the largest of the three Roman ancient theaters in Jordan, with a semicircle of thirty-two-story staircases that can accommodate 5,000 spectators, with complete stage and background walls, and clear doorposts and frame lines. The South Open-air Theatre was built in the first century AD and has held large-scale international music festival performances here.

The South Amphitheatre is located on the side of the oval square in the ancient city of Gerash Rome, and it is not visible from the bottom, but it is large in scale when entering the building. There is a floor tile in the middle of the theater stage, where singing is said to remind the song of the whole theater, and it should be the same structural effect as our Temple of Heaven echo wall.

Ancient Roman amphitheater, a row of staircases of boulders can accommodate more than 3,000 spectators

South Open-air Theatre - can accommodate 5,000 spectators, all built with boulders, round like open fans. Standing at the highest point, you can overlook the whole ancient city. Now every summer, concerts are held here, and world singers Pavarotti and Carreras have also played their voices on this millennium-old stage.

When I arrived at the South Open Theatre, the rain finally stopped, and Bedouin came out to play. My friends and I stopped and sat and enjoyed it for a while. The sound effect of the theater was very good. Now we are still holding summer opera performances here. The amphitheater is very well protected, not only the steps of the boulders are still preserved with fine carvings, but the restroom behind the stage is also preserved in a complete manner.

It is absolutely shocking that this ancient city of Rome has three theaters, equivalent to our current concert hall and grand theater, think about how big city we have now to have a concert hall and a grand theater? The open-air semi-circular Roman theater, step-like distribution, the front half moon shape is the stage, the back is the place for the performers to change clothes and prepare to play, the theater's integrity, luxury, absolutely shocking, these stands have been eroded by wind and frost, it is still so perfect, think about it, It was all built before 2000, and how did the Romans play in Jordan? You can definitely stay here for a whole day, from sunrise to dusk, to the sky full of stars, you will feel a different time crossing, it seems that the entire ancient Roman city has lived again, the living color of 2000 is fragrant, and you telepathic in this moment, Seeing the world without stingy praise for her.
