Cardo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | After the Jewish rebellion of 70 AD was crushed by Titus' troops, Jerusalem was refounded as Colonia Aelia Capitolina and its new city plan featured a long collonated cardo running from north to south, date from the time of Emperor Justinian in the 6th century AD. |
 | | Another example of this conflation between the modern and the ancient can be seen along the Street of the Jews where shops have been set into old vaults and the gallery is covered by an arched roof containing small apertures to allow for natural lighting. |
 | | The Cardo Maximus of Apamea, Syria ran through the center of the city directly from North to South, linked the principal gates of the city, and was originally surrounded by 1200 columns with unique spiral fluting, each subsequent column spiraling in the opposite direction. |
