The Byzantine Church - Amman - Jordan - Signs of History on Waymarking.com

"This 6th century church has a basilicaI plan that consists of a central nave and two side aisles. The semi-circular apse in the eastern end of the building is separated from the church by a chancel screen. Corinthian capitals decorated with acanthus leaves were taken from the Temple of Hercules for use in the basilica, and the aisles are paved with flagstones.

Rectangular rooms complete the aisles, some of which may have been added by the Umayyads a century later. The nave has a mosaic floor, a common feature in the Byzantine period; it is now covered over for protection."
