- Ancient Roman Theater, Alexandria - The Roman theater in Alexandria is a typical example of Roman theaters, featuring an audience section made of marble, granite columns, five compartments, and thick limestone walls. It hosted grand ceremonies and events with a capacity of 600 spectators. The audience section comprised 13 rows of white marble, and the supporting columns were made of granite imported from Aswan, southern Egypt. The five compartments at the top of the audience section likely accommodated royals or public figures during performances and were covered by dome-shaped ceilings supported by granite columns to shield the audience from the sun and rain. In the 6th century AD, an earthquake struck Alexandria, destroying most of these structures, leaving only some ruins that still stand today.
