Project Description

Temple of Hercules

Temple of Hercules is a historic site in the Amman Citadel in Amman, Jordan. It was built in the same period as the Roman amphitheater below between (162-166) AD. It is thought to be the most significant Roman structure in the Amman Citadel, according to an inscription the temple was built when Geminius Marcianus was governor of the Province of Arabia (AD 162-166).

The site also contains a hand carved out of stones resembling the hand of Hercules. The statue is estimated to have been over 12 meters tall, and probably destroyed in an earthquake. All that remains are three fingers and an elbow.
