2000 Jerash Jordan Middle East - The Oval Forum and Cardo Maximus in ancient Jerash with the modern city behind. Jerash is considered one of the largest and most well-preserved sites of Roman architecture in the world outside Italy. The columns mark the location of a stoa, or covered walkway, where the stalls of open-air vendors might be located in bad weather. After the Roman conquest in 63 BC, Jerash and the land surrounding it were annexed to the Roman province of Syria .
