Amman is the capital of the country, but in the Roman times, it was known as Philadelphia. In 1921, it was created out of the then Ottoman empire and was made a monarchy under King Abdullah Ibn Hussein. He was assassinated in 1951 and his grandson, King Hussein became the King. Jordanian maps of earlier times show that it was a major centre in the Roman Empire.
