Arch of Hadrian. The Arch of Hadrian is an ancient Roman structure in Jerash, Jordan. It is an 11-metre high triple-arched gateway erected to honor the visit of Roman Emperor Hadrian to the city (then called Gerasa) in the winter of 129–130. [1] The arch originally stood to almost 22 m and probably had wooden doors. [1]
