Dion, Jordan
Dium or Dion ( grc, Δῖον) or Dia (Δία)Josephus, ''Ant. Iud.'', 13.393 was a city in ancient Coele-Syria mentioned by numerous ancient writers. According to Stephanus of Byzantium, the city was a foundation of Alexander the Great, and named after the city Dium in Macedon. It was also called Pella. Location Dium is sometimes identified with Tell el-Ash'ari from the Daraa Governorate in southwestern Syria (see :fr:Tell al-Achari at French Wikipedia). Some associate Dium with the later Capitolias, now Beit Ras in Jordan. The location of Dium is not proven with certainty. According to Ptolemy, the city was southeast of Pella, which is now in modern Jordan, and quite close to it; but its latitude was quite uncertain. Josephus in his retelling of Pompey's march through the area, says he came from Damascus via Dium to Pella, thus putting Dium to the north of Pella. Historical sources Stephanus notes that the city's water was unhealthy. Little is known about the history of the c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

People From Amman
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of ...
