The  Theater   Temples Theater Tombs Museum Desert Palaces   A little further, to the great colonnade, are the ruins of a vast tribune, called edifice with Corinthian pre-style, and a little further to the left a charming small theater built in the first half of the 2nd century of our era. It is integrated very harmoniously in the heart of the city near the Senate, the Agora and a hall where banquets were held. The building of the stage is fairly well preserved, as well as the orchestra, a semi circular paved esplanade, separated from the cavea (the steps) by the arena which was accessible through three vaulted passages. While actors performed on the stage, the orchestra was used for the chorus. Behind, a portico followed the round shape of the steps.
