    Assos, Theater

    Site: Assos
    Type: Theater
    Summary: Theater; on the slope to the south of the agora.
    Date: ca. 250 B.C.
    Period: Hellenistic


    Plan:

    Horseshoe shaped orchestra, cavea with 6 cunei (sectors) facing the stage building.

    History:

    In Hellenistic times a wooden fence in front of the 1st row of seats kept the audience off the orchestra. Probably in Roman times a low podium (top of the 2nd row of seats) and a parapet at orchestra level made the orchestra more of an arena.
