One of the best-preserved forts in the Roman empire, constructed in the late 3rd/early 4th century AD. Here are some photos (I've been digitising old slides and decided these merited posting) as well as some Google Earth jiggerypokery, in the form of .kml and .kmz files. Note that I can't actually get Google Earth to fire up on these links (but that may just be because I haven't got file types configured correctly on my linux version of GE), so best to right click, save to disk, then use File->Open in GE itself.
If you don't have or can't run Google Earth you can still see Bshir by using Google Maps.
The amount of Roman military stuff in Jordan that is clearly visible on Google Earth is astounding and one day I will post my collection here.... but not yet ;-)
