Abstract
The study of the so-called masons’ marks found on some architectural elements of the macellum of Gerasa (Jerash, Jordan) is presented; these unpublished archaeological data, recovered from excavations conducted in the 1983−90s at the site, shed light on the day-to-day construction process of the macellum Roman building, dated before mid−2nd century AD.
