The Triumphal Arch (Hadrian's Arch) in the south of the Roman city of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerasa" class="extiw" title="en:Gerasa">Gerasa</a> (now Jerash) in Jordan. The tripartite triumphal arch was erected in commemoration of emperor Hadrian's visit to the city in 129/130 AD. The building is 25 m wide and ca. 21.5 m high. The main entrance is 6 m wide and 11 m high, while the side entrances are 2.5 m wide and 5 m high. The upper part above the peak of the main arch has been practically completely restored by the Department of Antiquities of Jordan by reusing the ancient ashlar around the arch (Source: Franz Rainer Scheck: <i>Jordanien.
