Hippodrome, Jerash
The Hippodrome of Jerash, constructed in the second century AD, is only half the length of Rome's Circus Maximus. Nevertheless, it must have provided considerable entertainment to the citizens; chariot races were the ultimate sport of the later Roman Empire. The view here looks south, from the top of the arena's great hairpin arch down to its starting point, 245m (800 ft) below.
