The Roman Amphitheater is located in the eastern part of the Jordanian capital, Amman. It is at the foot of Jabal Al-Joufah, on a hill opposite the Amman Citadel. A Greek inscription on one of the pillars indicates that this amphitheater was built in honour of Emperor Antonius Pius (138–161 CE) when the city was known as Philadelphia.
