Amman was once a member of the Decapolis, a league of 10 affiliated trading cities. At that time the city was known as Philadelphia and the crumbling ruins within the Citadel complex are the best remaining evidence of this city.

Just below their walls lies a well-preserved Roman theatre dating from the reign of Marcus Aurelius (169AD – 177AD). It is sunk into a natural hollow in the rock and was capable of seating between 3,000 and 6,000 spectators. At the top of the seats a statue of the goddess Athena once stood, now in the National Archaeological Museum.
