Roman theater at Mainz
Roman theater at Mainz, Roman theater in Mainz-Altstadt, Germany
The theater spans 116 meters in diameter with a 42-meter-wide stage, making it the largest Roman performance venue north of the Alps.
Built in the first century AD during the Roman occupation, the structure served as a central gathering place for the military settlement of Mogontiacum.
The theater accommodated 10,000 spectators for entertainment events and military ceremonies, particularly those honoring the Roman general Drusus.
Located next to the Mainz Roman Theater station, the archaeological site contains foundation remains and informational displays about the ancient structure.
The theater's massive vaults transformed into burial catacombs for neighboring monasteries during the sixth century before the structure fell into complete abandonment.
