The Greek theatre at Epidauros, Greece. Artist: Samuel Magal

The Greek theatre at Epidauros, Greece. This magnificent theatre is, perhaps, the best preserved of the ancient world. It was build around 350 BC by Polykleitos the Younger. The enormous cavea can accommodate between 12,000 to 15,000 spectators The first three rows with finely decorated seats were reserved for city officials. The theatre is marveled for its exceptional acoustics, which permits almost perfect intelligibility of unamplified spoken word from the proscenium or skene to all 15,000 spectators, regardless of their seating. This image is displayed at the British Museum, London.
