| Theatre in Aphrodisias
The theater was built on the eastern slope of the larger of two prehistoric settlement mounds surrounded by the otherwise flat and fertile plain of the Meander River Valley. Situated adjacent to the South Agora, or public square of the ancient city, the theatre was ideally located for public performances, forums, and the circus-like entertainment of blood sports. Excavations have revealed the lower section of the cavea (27 rows of seats) and much of the theatre`s architecture. The original theatre dates from the Late Hellenistic period, but it was extensively renovated between 38 and 28 BC. |
