Orchestra & Stage

Looking down on the orchestra area of the theater.  On the right (west) is the partially reconstructed stage area.  On the left, portions of the cavea (seating area) are visible.

Note just left of center the two arched entrances.  The one of the left leads to the orchestra while the one on the right leads directly to the stage area.  In all probability there was a two or three story skené behind the stage.  (For an example of a skené Click Here)
