Roman Theater in Amman

 After church on Friday we went for a drive and found the Roman Theater. 

The theater was probably built in the 2nd century AD during the reign of Antoninus Pius (AD 138–61).

 There is a smaller theater and building on the left. The picture above shows the front of the small theater.

 Here's the kids and Josh in front of the small theater.

 A hallway inside. You can see the old and the new stone work inside. 

At the top of the small theater. The stairs lead to the inside.

 Joshua looking down at the stage area.

 Michael and Hannah sitting in a doorway by the stage.

 All of us at the big theater. The pictures don't do it justice.  It was so big and steep.

 Katie on her way to the top.

 At the top! It was a hot day and the kids were tired and hot!

The family at the top. They are at the far left on the very top.   

 The theater can fit about 6,000 people!

 From the top looking down.

Going back down. The small theater is on the top right. 

 They are standing at the bottom by the pillar. Joseph is almost half way down.

The narrow stairs to the top. 

 At the bottom on the side of the stage.

Hannah really wanted her picture with the "big bath tub"!

 We want to go back and take the tour before we leave Jordan.
