Description
View of section of the Odeon (small theater) with seating, stage area and scaena at Pompeii, Italy. "Established in the 1st century B.C., it represents one of the most harmonious and well-balanced examples of architecture of this type. It could hold up to 1,000 spectators and could be covered permanently. It is well preserved and shows the typical design of the Greek theatre with its structure deeply embanked in the natural slope of the terrain. It was used to host plays and musical events,"--Pompeii Ruins website.
