The theater was built in the 1st century AD. built. The building was built against a hill and was thus naturally supported. The theater had a diameter of 148 meters and could accommodate approximately 15,000 spectators. This made it one of the largest theaters in the west of the Roman Empire.

After the fall of the Roman Empire, the theater fell out of use and was used as a stone quarry during the Middle Ages. The foundations were preserved and were partially restored at the beginning of the 20th century, and a number of benches were also restored. Nothing of the stage has been preserved.
