Moving further up the slope, we come across what's colloquially referred as the Roman Theatre. It is in fact The Odeon of Herodes Atticus (also called Herodeion), a stone Roman Theatre (as per architectural standards), built during 161 AD by the Greek Herodes Atticus in memory of his Roman wife, Aspasia Annia Regilla. It was originally a steep-sloped theatre with a three-story stone front wall and a wooden roof made of expensive cedar of Lebanon timber. It was used as a venue for music concerts with a capacity of 5,000. It lasted intact until it was destroyed and left in ruins by the Heruli in 267 AD. It was again restored during 1950s and since then it is still being used as a venue for important performances. It felt reassuring that the love for theatre is not dead yet..
