Roman Theatre of Vasio Vocontiorum
Roman Theatre of Vasio Vocontiorum, Ancient Roman theatre in Vaison-la-Romaine, France
The Roman Theatre of Vasio Vocontiorum features original stone seating arrangements and vomitoria carved directly into the hillside rock formation.
Built during Emperor Tiberius reign in the first century CE, this theatre accommodated 7,000 spectators before its benches were reused as Christian tombstones.
The theatre stands within the archaeological Puymin area, near the Portico Sanctuary where citizens participated in imperial religious ceremonies.
Visitors access the 2,000-square-meter archaeological site through the Puymin entrance, which includes the Musée Archéologique Théo Desplans containing Roman artifacts.
The theatre combines natural topography with freestanding architecture, utilizing tunnels through the hill to connect different sections of the ancient city.
