The remnants of the often-referenced private theater of the Roman emperor Nero (reigned A.D. 54-68) in a Renaissance garden near the Vatican in Rome, are one of Archaeology’s Top 10 Discoveries of 2023. The ruins include the theater’s 138-foot-wide semicircular seating area, called a cavea, built with bricks dating to the period of the Julio-Claudian emperors (27 B.C.-A.D. 68).
If I read correctly, this cavea was originally underground? Or it was buried over time?
Beautiful work!
Amazing
