Le Théâtre Antique d'Orange

Subject

The Well Preserved Ruins of the Roman Theater at Orange, France

Description

Commissioned under Augustus, the Orange Theater was built in the 1st century AD. It followed the Pompey-style of being built out of stone instead of traditional wooden construction. It originally did have a wooden roof for poor weather, but was lost over time. The theater seats up to 7,000 and is still in use to this day.
