Roman Mausoleum

TIME : 2016/2/19 3:48:12

The decumanus maximus continues west of the main site for 1km or so, leading to some ruins of limited interest, including baths , mausoleums and gates . Japanese and Iraqi archaeologists are currently excavating here. Most interesting is the basilica built above one of the Roman mausoleums. You can peer down into the subterranean tomb through a hole in the basilica floor. The sarcophagus of Helladis that once lay here can be seen in the Museum of Anthropology and Archaeology in Irbid.
