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.

Amman".
Amman is one of the oldest continuously occupied
cities in the world.
