    Roman Theater in Amman is a Roman theater located in the Jordanian capital, Amman, on a hill opposite Citadel Hill (Amman Citadel). A Greek inscription on one of the columns indicates that the theater was built in honor of the Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius, who ruled from 138 to 161 AD. The theatre can seat 6000 spectators and is still used today for cultural activities.
