Sky Watch Friday- Roman Theater, Amman

For today’s sky watch I present the Roam Theater at Amman. It is a huge structure and you can see only a little of sky and a lot of the amphitheater. It was such a sight to behold.

The theater could seat 60,000 people. It was built in 131-168 AD (or what is said as CE now?). It has steep steps and you really have to be careful while getting down. The houses you see on the horizon are Palestinian settlements.

PS. This post is part of Sky Watch Friday, the ultimate theme in sky appreciation.
