The ancient roman city Jerash in modern day Jordan is not well known, but this short video shows the well-preserved site.

Quote

Wikipedia: Jerash is considered one of the largest and most well-preserved sites of Roman architecture in the world outside Italy. And is sometimes misleadingly referred to as the “Pompeii of the Middle East" or of Asia, referring to its size, extent of excavation and level of preservation.

I included a Jerash intro vid on both of my Roman Ruin lists under Colosseum and my signature playlist. I guess this Archeo category is a better place for them, but I had wrongly concluded it was for non Roman active digs. I will post the vid here in playlist form cued to Jerash, but navigateable to other amazing Roman ruins in the mideast. On a laptop you can back up with upper-P to go to previous sites or upper-N for next (clik on vid first to shift focus):
