For #RomanFortThursday let’s go to Qasr Bashir, #Jordan, located 15km northwest of Lejjun. An inscription dates the construction of the Castra Praetorium Mobeni to AD 293-305. It was occupied throughout the 4th and into the 5th century. Umayyad pottery indicates re-occupation in the 7th century. Qasr Bashir is considered the best-preserved #Roman fort in the Middle East. The 1.5m thick walls still stand several metres high.
