The Amman Citadel is considered to be among the world's oldest continuously inhabited places [1]. While archaeological discoveries have been made at many sites within modern Amman, Citadel Hill still holds particularly high potential [1]. The Great Temple, better but inaccurately known as the Temple of Hercules, is thought to be the most significant Roman structure within the Amman Citadel [1].
