When I could resist no longer, I walked through one of the openings leading inwards, and suddenly found myself looking down at an amphitheatre that was surprisingly intact. It was a sensational view, and behind the top of the theatre, I could see part of ancient Bosra, the ruins that I had been exploring earlier that day. I took one of the many available seats - apparently I was there out of season - and let the whole structure soak into me. So this was it. This was the amphitheatre built by the Romans in the second century CE, in the heydays of Bosra, when it was still the capital of the Roman province of Arabia. The fortress was built tightly around it in the course of centuries, and served as a fortification against the crusaders in the 11th and 12th centuries.
