This image is centered on the area of the altar and provides context for this monument and its sight lines which are largely restricted to the south. It also provides a visualization for assessing the conservation needs of this now very much exposed structure. Please note that the darkened areas are the result of camera exposure and are not the result of human activities. Gigapan taken by I. Straughn. |

This panorama shows the south theater of the ancient Greco-Roman city of Gerasa (Jerash).
Built during the reign of Emperor Domitian, between 90-92 AD, the South Theater seats more than 3000 spectators. The remarkable acoustics allows a speaker at the center of the orchestra floor to be heard by the entire auditorium without raising his/her voice. The brilliant design took all the factors in consideration, such as the sun's brightness and direction. For this reason, the theater was built in a way so to allow the least amount of sunlight to disturb the audience.
