The southern theatre is located slightly above the temple of Zeus. It can be reached by a path that starts from the forum. This small amphitheatre was built around 90, during the reign of the emperor Domitian, thanks to donations from the rich inhabitants of the city. It could hold about 5,000 spectators, compared to 3,000 today. It has been completely restored and is still used today, notably during the Jerash festival. Its exceptional acoustics delight the tourists who can regularly listen to the bagpipers of the Jordanian army practicing.

Quelle sonorité!
Lorsque je visite les théâtres romains, je prend toujours le temps de monter le plus haut possible en m'imaginant un spectacle sur la scène. Encore plus intéressant lorsqu'il y a des musiciens nous permettant d'apprécier la sonorité du théâtre.

2ème théâtre du site, celui-ci était plus utilisé pour les décisions politiques. Bien restauré, l'ensemble est très beau.
