The Roman Temple of Hercules in Amman, Jordan, is a historical monument located atop the Citadel Hill, one of the most significant archaeological sites in the city. It dates back to the 2nd century AD, during the reign of Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius (161–180 AD). The temple was part of a larger Roman settlement in the area and was likely dedicated to Hercules, a hero of Greek and Roman mythology.

Qasr al-Abd is a large Hellenistic palace from the first quarter of the second century BCE. Most scholars agree it was built by the Tobiads, a notable Jewish family of the Second Temple period, although the descriptions doesn't mention that. Its ruins stand in modern-day Jordan in the valley of Wadi Seer, close to the village of Iraq Al-Amir, approximately 17 kilometers west of Amman.
