The short film The Roman Frontier in Jordan is part of the multimedia DVD-project Frontiers of the Roman Empire. The aims of the film are to show fascinating pictures from the Roman frontier in the Middle East and to connect people from different countries through their common history and archaeology. The Roman fort of Qasr Bshir is one of the best preserved installation of the Roman army known today. Archaeological remains like Qasr Bshir, Jerash and Azraq clearly demonstrate the importance of the Eastern provinces for Rome. And today? His Royal Highness Prince Hassan bin Thalal is promoting the history and archaeology of his country. And in this context we can recognise that Roman archaeology in particular demonstrates that Western Europe and the Arabic world have common roots.
