Story · Roman theatre of Philippopolis

You're standing at the Roman theatre of Plovdiv, one of the best-preserved ancient Roman theatres in the world. Start with its shape. The seating forms a half circle more than eighty metres across, and the Romans cleverly built it into the slope of the hill. That way, only part of the seats needed support from walls.
