ItalyThe Greek theatre of Syracuse lies on the south slopes of the Temenite hill, overlooking the modern city of Syracuse in southeastern Sicily [1]. The theatron had a diameter of 138.6 metres, one of the largest in the Greek world, and originally had 67 rows of seating, mostly cut into rock [1]. A pathway runs around the theatre halfway up the cavea, dividing it in two [1]. The decoration of the scene probably underwent renovations in the Flavian and/or Antonine periods [1].
