Jerash, a remote city located in the African country of Jordan, is actually the best preserved site of Roman ruins outside of Italy.
In celebration of its heritage, the city hosts regular re-enactments of Roman battles, in which soldiers demonstrate age-old tactics, weapons, and equipment.
There’s even an actual chariot race! In this entry of their travel vlog, Deb and Dave from The Planet D get up and personal with the long history of culture associated with Rome’s influence in Africa, and give some great ideas about how to spend your time if you get the chance to visit Jerash.
