History
The capital and largest city of Jordan, Amman, was founded by Greeks. It was named Philadelphia, back then. Many other cities were also founded by the Greeks, including Gadara, Jerash and Pella. In modern Jordan there were the Decapolis.
During the Antigonid–Nabataean confrontations, the Antigonus became aware of the wealth of the Nabataeans.[3] However, the Nabataeans maintained their independence, then they managed to defeat the Seleucid Empire at the Battle of Cana in 84 BC.
In AD 106, the Nabataean Kingdom was annexed by the Roman Empire and renamed to Arabia Petraea, which later became part of the Byzantine Empire until 630s.Шаблон:Cn In Jordan there are many Greek mosaics, including the famous Madaba Map.
