Description
View of the theater at Priene, Turkey. "The auditorium was greater than a semi-circle, with stone parodos walls. Seating consisted of five cunei of seats with six staircases, with 22 tiers of seats in the lower story and 25 in the upper. The stage building was rectangular and two-storied; in front of it stood the proscenium, which was slightly longer than the stage building itself. The facade of the proscenium was articulated by a one-storied row of pillars with eleven intercolumniations. From the proscenium cross-beams ran back to the stage building to support the flat wooden roof,"--Perseus Digital Library.
