A main north-south artery 800 metres long, built in the 1st century and punctuated by fairly deep ruts
The Romans called Cardo maximus the main artery of the cities oriented north-south. Gerasa's Cardo was 800 meters long and particularly beautiful. The Cardo was built in the first century. The original Ionic columns - there were nearly 200 of them - were gradually reworked into Corinthian columns from 170. The artery is punctuated by deep ruts dug by the wheels of the chariots. The holes in the roadway were used to collect rainwater.

Columns on the right and left that are in the Forum to the north, a little km. Under our feet, big slabs and sometimes saw what seemed to remain sewers of the time.
