"Perhaps the excellent acoustics and perfect geometric construction of the Theatre were the reasons why the Romans did not change the stage or cavea, as they did with other Greek theatres during their empire (Izenour 11). The Theatre continued to be used by the Romans, but with no known major renovations or developments. At some point, however, the Theatre fell into disuse and the cavea was buried under layers and layers of earth while the skene was left exposed and vulnerable to time." — Joshua Polster, Ancient Theatre Archive |
