We’ve chronicled the ongoing archaeological work at Laodicea which is so impressive (shout out to Prof. Shimshek and his crew), and in this post I’m showing some of the most recent upgrades at a couple of sites, and a brand new site in the last of these series of posts.
This is the afternoon theatre which has been thoroughly put back together and is even now used again for concerts. But as you can see from the crane, there’s still more work to be done, especially on the skene, or scene where the action takes place. Here’s a shot looking to the left.
You can see how huge this theatre is from my student Kevin Boyle sitting on the top of the nosebleed seats. And the acoustics here are amazing. Notice the shell shaped reflectors which further help the sound to be project towards the audience.
