This morning we went to the Theatre Antique d’Orange (aka old Roman theater). Apparently it’s a Unesco world heritage sight. It’s the only theater with the back wall still standing in Europe. There are two others (Turkey, Syria). There’s a similar theater in Arles and it’s a total wreck. It’s 2000 years old and seats 10,000. Not nearly as impressive as Pont du Gard. (three pictures)
The back wall from the outside
They had a statue of the Emperor in the top center position. The statue heads were replaceable for when the Emperor changed.
