Theatre of Sabratha

data access 7876

The Theatre of Sabratha was built in the late 2nd century under Comodus. The theatre had 25 entrances and could seat approximately 5,000 spectators. It has a three-storey architectural backdrop.

The structure appears largely intact owing to its reconstruction by Italian archaeologists in the 1930s.

Het theater van Sabratha is gebouwd ten tijde van Comodus rond het jaar 190. Het gebouw kende 25 ingangen en bood plaats aan 5.000 toeschouwers. De achterzijde telt drie verdiepingen.¹
