Roman Theatre, Roman theatre in Benevento, Italy
The theatre features a semicircular cavea measuring 98 meters in diameter with 25 arches supported by Tuscan columns and three architectural orders.
Emperor Hadrian inaugurated this monumental structure between 125 and 128 AD, marking a period of architectural advancement in the Roman Empire.
The theatre served as a center for dramatic performances, with spaces for actors and specific areas designed for different social classes of spectators.
The structure includes multiple entrance points through corridors and staircases, allowing efficient movement of large groups of spectators.
The theatre contains preserved marble-covered halls called aulae, with one chamber retaining its original multicolored marble wall coverings.
