Modern Description: The Theatre is located in the north of the city on the slopes of Michalitsi hill. The lower part of the cavea lies on a slope of the hill and three vaulted chambers supported the upper part. It was most probably constructed by Octavian for the revival of the Actia games and repairs (sections of the walls of opus incertum mixtum) were carried out in the second half of the first century AD, perhaps by Nero. Final modifications were carried out in the second century AD, perhaps under the Emperor Hadrian.
