The
Jordan Archeological Museum boasts an excellent collection of antiquities
ranging from prehistoric times to the 15th century, including an exhibit of the
Dead Sea Scrolls and four Iron Age anthropo-morphic coffins.
In Greco-Roman times, Amman was known as Philadelphia, it was
named after the Roman emperor Philadelphus. Prior to that it was known as
Rabbath-Ammon.
Amman consists of an old and more
traditional part called "City Centre" or "Downtown" (in Arabic 'Balad'), and a
modern more vibrant western style "West Amman".
Amman is one of the oldest continuously occupied cities in the
world.
