EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the majestic ruins of the ancient city of Gerasa, now known as Jerash, in Jordan. Dating back to the Roman period, Gerasa was an important cultural and economic center in the Middle East, renowned for its grandiose architecture and classical design. The ruins in this image, taken in the 1920s, are located near the Forum, the heart of the city's social and political life. The Forum, a large open square surrounded by impressive structures, was once the center of civic and commercial activity. The ruins of the Ionic colonnade, with its graceful columns and entablature, stand tall against the backdrop of the semicircular colonnade. The remains of the pillars, each adorned with intricate carvings, speak of the city's rich history and the grandeur of its past. The stones and rocks that make up these structures have weathered the test of time, yet they continue to stand as a testament to the ingenuity and artistry of the ancient Romans. The ruins of Gerasa offer a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the bustling city that once thrived here. This photograph is a reminder of the enduring power of history and the beauty of the classical world.
