Excavated Roman theater dating from 20 BC
What a privilege to visit this site
Amazes us that this jewel could just be covered in rubble and rediscovered
The architecture and the detail on Columns and cornices finishing
I sat on the seating on the stand but found that the Roman peoples were somewhat short people
Even when I look at the statues of real life size Roman figures they look small almost like Chinese and Portuguese people
The time it must have taken to built these theaters and it had roofs made of skin almost like those fans Japanese ladies wear which can be folded and opened
In this case it was covered in winter and rainy days
But the age old important economic commodity is still oil. Even in those times numerous little oil lamps big and small was discovered
The statues are done in very good detail of famous Roman dignitaries and some woman too
I was wondering how long it took to chisel such a stature and maybe more than one artisan worked on these sculptures
When I am reminded on how many artworks Michael Angelo did , he must have had a lot of help
