Theater - Phoenice Archaeological Park
The theatre is the most identifying monument of the ancient city of Phoinike as not only reflects two main stages of this city, the Hellenistic and the Roman period, but also by having very large dimensions (the scene frons measure over 30 meters of length), attests to the importance of this great political capital. The orchestra occupies a large artificial terrace in the western slope of the hill. The cavea is geared totally in the natural terrain that forms a semi-circular beam, ideal for building the seats. The theatre was used for performances and probably for political reunions of the Epirote federation (Koinon). Based on architectural structures and archaeological material, consisting of black-glazed pottery and artwork that decorated the stage, the theater dates back to the middle of the 3rd century B.C. and it had a second period in the 2nd century B.C. The theater had a reconstruction in the Roman period (3rd century A.D.) and it seems clear of a scenic complex.
