| Research Abstract |
The author made architectural field works of spherical-trianglependentive domes in Jordan; Baths at Petra, Nuweijis near Amman and West Baths at Jerash,and analyze their form and construction date. As a result, the following points areconfirmed. Baths at Petra (second half of the 1st century) is not acceptable as ancandidate of pendentive dome, because it has not all elements of pendentive domesatisfactorily. Nuweijis near Amman (mid-2nd century) and West Baths at Jerash (thirdquarter of the 2nd century) are both made of cut stone voussoir and have all elementsof pendentive dome adequately. New measurements confirm that both monuments have truespherical-triangle pendentive. Especially, it is clarified that pendentive dome ofNuweijis is mostly perfect hemisphere.
