the original philly stadium? =)

The amphitheater in modern-day Amman, Jordan, is a reminder of a time when Rome ruled the city, then called Philadelphia. Conquered in 30 B.C., Philadelphia was one of ten loosely allied, Roman-ruled cities in what is now the Middle East.

Under Roman rule, Philadelphia was recast in the typical Roman style of the day: a colonnaded main street, baths, and of course, an amphitheater. This theater is one of the most well-preserved remnants of the ancient city. For some ancient Philadelphians, it was seen as a prized symbol of Roman citizenship.
