Ancient Greek theatre of Sicyon
Ancient Greek theatre of Sicyon, Greek theatre in Sicyon, Greece.
The theatre spans 121 meters in width and features fourteen tiers divided into sixty-six rows of limestone seats carved into the hillside.
The theatre was constructed before 350 BCE and underwent modifications during the Roman period, which included extending the stage over part of the orchestra.
The structure contained decorated throne-like seats in the front row, specifically reserved for priests and city officials during performances and civic gatherings.
The theatre incorporated advanced drainage systems with channels that effectively managed rainwater flow, preventing flooding throughout the performance space.
Two vaulted passageways at the ends of the first section served as the main entrances, leading audiences through stone corridors into the performance area.
