The Theatre was probably constructed under the reign of Hadrian after the earthquake of 60 AD.[11] The facade is 300 feet (91 m) long, the full extent of which remains standing. In the cavea there are 50 rows of seats divided into seven parts by eight intermediate stairways. The diazoma, which divided the cavea into two, was entered by two vaulted passages (the vomitoria). There is an Imperial loge at the middle of the cavea and a 6-foot-high (1.83 m) wall surrounding the orchestra.

Substantially restored, respectful, usable. That gives the true experience for today's man. I am always fascinated by the acoustics in these old theaters. Often better than today's buildings.
