The Theatre

The theatre, in Grek style, was built on a hill slope, probably during the Flavian Period, in 62 AD after the earthquake of 60 AD. The facade is 300 foot long (92 m) the full extent of which remains standing. The theather, which was under construction during the Hadrianus period (117-138 AD), was finished in 206 AD during the Severian Period. In the cavea there are 50 rows of seats divided into 7 parts by 8 intermediate stairways. The diazome, which divided the cavea into two, was entered by two vaulted passages (vomitarium). The Imperial lodge at the middle of cavea and the 6 food high (1.83 m) wall surrounding the orchestra are particulary impressive.
