Théâtre romain de Soissons, Roman theatre ruins in Soissons, France
The Roman theatre of Soissons spans 144 meters in diameter and reaches a height of 12 meters, featuring semicircular buttresses at the facade extremities.
Built during the second half of the first century in Augusta Suessionum, the theatre underwent gradual dismantling starting from the third century for city wall construction.
The theatre structure represents the architectural methods of Roman entertainment venues, with its cavea and stage building following classical design principles.
Located in the Saint-Remy High School grounds, the theatre site maintains visible terrain formations that outline the original semicircular structure.
Geophysical surveys conducted in 2010 revealed that ancient cellars incorporate the original walls of the theatre's seating area.
