Abstract
Despite strong interest and a wealth of recent publications on the cities of the Decapolis, Dion continues to be a blank spot on the map of modern scholarship. Based on literary, epigraphic, and numismatic evidence, the present article shows the strength and validity of the identification of Dion with Tell al-Ash'arī. This article combines these written data with recent archaeological results and is thus the first comprehensive account of a site, which, it is hoped, will yield further evidence of a significant Graeco-Roman city in the western Haurān.
