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.
