Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe Roman theatre, built in the second half of the 1st century BC on the eastern slope of the acropolis, Aphrodisias, Caria, Turkey (18526223961).jpg |
According to its inscription it was dedicated to Aphrodite and the people of the city by Gaius Julius Zoilus, a former slave of Octavian. The seating capacity was 8,000. The cavea is preserved in a good condition: according to the standards of the Hellenistic theatres in Asia Minor, it is bigger than a semi-circle. In the following century, the monumental skene was added, which comprised six vaulted halls used as logeia, arranged around a central room, which led behind the proscenium. The facade of the skene (scaenae frons) was decorated with niches with wonderful sculptures, such as the statue of Domitian, the personification of Demos, two Muses with Apollo or Dionysus, the statue of an athlete, a replica of a statue by Polyclitus and figures of Nikes. During the 2nd century AD, the conversions necessary for the new popular spectacles of animal fights and duels were carried out: the passageways were closed, the orchestra was lowered and the parapets in front of the seats were reinforced, so that the gladiators and the animals could fight without risking the lives of the spectators. |
