Ancient Theatre at the Asclepieion of Epidaurus
Ancient Theatre at the Asclepieion of Epidaurus, Ancient amphitheater in Epidaurus, Greece
The circular theater contains 55 rows of limestone seats arranged in two sections, accommodating up to 14,000 spectators against Mount Kynortion.
Construction of the theater occurred in two phases between the 4th and 2nd centuries BC within the sanctuary complex dedicated to Asclepius, god of healing.
