The Citadel in Amman

 In Jesus' time, this city was called Philadelphia. The Romans had incorporated this into their kingdom. The picture below shows a Colosseum where many Christians were thrown to the lions.

 The English teachers with the Colosseum showing near my elbow.
 Most of the columns from the Greek temple above were purloined for the Byzantine church below 400 years later.
