This lesson is talking about Jerash in the past and now, somehow They are comparing between them.
Ancient Jerash was smaller than modern Jerash and consisted of a main city surrounded by smaller villages. Ancient Jerash had a forum, two theatres, two baths and a chariot-racing track; today these things are in ruins. Ancient Jerash was mainly visited by traders whereas modern Jerash is more commonly visited by tourists.
