Geolocation

Missing locations of:

  • Yaduda: "A similar church-floor mosaic from Yaduda, ten kilometres south of 'Amman, records the installation of the mosaic 'in the year ?565' (AD ?502).1"
  • Quweismeh: "At Quwaysma, now a southeastern suburb of greater 'Amman, two churches are known. 158 Church A, near the mausoleum at the site, has a mosaic floor inscribed in Greek and Aramaic. The Greek inscription (IJ 2.53) records repair work presumably associated with the great earthquake of January 717, which did considerable damage throughout Jordan and Palestine. Church B, which seems to date to the second half of the sixth century, also has an inscribed mosaic floor". Makeandtoss (talk) 15:08, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The hook is probably indeed not that interesting, so would go with ALT1: "... that some of the Byzantine churches in Philadelphia, modern-day Amman, were repurposed from earlier Roman temples?" Makeandtoss (talk) 09:18, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
