This theatre sat roughly 4,000 spectators. In the Greek style, the tiered seating extends from the orchestra carved out of the hillside. The Roman influence is seen above this gallery where four tiers rested upon an arched corridor. The cavae, audience seating area, was divided into three sections. The lower most section, the ima, was reserved for senators, magistrates, and other important people. These four tiers were wider and not as steep as the remaining seating they were also separated from the other seating by a short wall. The middle section, the media, sat the middle class and the top, the summa, was reserved for the plebeians.\n
