The Temple of Hercules, built between 162 and 166 AD when Geminius Marcianus was governor of the Province of Arabia, Amman Citadel, Jordan
The Temple of Hercules, built between 162 and 166 AD when Geminius Marcianus was governor of the Province of Arabia, Amman Citadel, Jordan

The temple is about 30 meters long by 24 meters wide and additional with an outer sanctum of 121 meters by 72 meters. The portico has 6 columns about 10 meters tall. Archaeologists believe that since there are no remains of additional columns the temple was probably not finished, and the marble used to build the Byzantine Church nearby.
