Built in the late 1st century BC, the Second Ancient Theatre of Larissa is an ancient Greek theatre located on the southwestern slopes of Pefkakia hill in Larissa, Thessaly, Greece [1]. It was constructed likely as a replacement for the city's original theatre, which was converted into an arena for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles following the Roman conquest of Greece [1]. The theatre reflects the architectural adaptation that occurred in Greek cities during the Roman period, serving as a venue for dramatic performances and public entertainments [1].
