    An impressive gateway, access to the ancient site. Gathering place also for illegitimate dealers. Partly beggars.

    The structure was erected on the occasion of Hadrian's visit to the city of Gerasa in the winter of 129/130 or the spring of 130. From 2005 to 2007, the approximately 37.45 m wide, 9.25 m deep and 21 m high arch was restored. A dedicatory inscription in Greek was attached to the arch of honor on a tabula ansata. It names the 14th tribunicia potestas of the emperor and can therefore be dated to the year 130.

    Originally, ‘Hadrian’s Arch’ was intended to be the city gate of a new southern quarter. Instead, Gerasa grew to the north, where the Temple of Artemis was built. Therefore, the structure built in honor of Hadrian remained free-standing, 460 meters from the southern gate of the fortified city.
