Gallo-Roman Theatre of Alba Augusta Helviorum
Gallo-Roman Theatre of Alba Augusta Helviorum, Roman theatre in Alba-la-Romaine, France.
The ancient theatre spans across a stream with stone foundations, featuring curved seating areas and remnants of a stage platform measuring 68 meters in diameter.
Built around 20 BCE, the theatre underwent three construction phases, transforming from a simple indigenous structure to a grand Roman edifice by 120 CE.
The theatre incorporated two different seating styles, with classical Roman benches for Latin speakers and traditional Gallic arrangements for Celtic populations.
The archaeological site maintains wooden benches and a reconstructed stage platform, allowing visitors to experience performances in a historical setting.
A stream called Massacre runs between the seating area and the stage, requiring specialized architectural solutions during Roman construction periods.
