Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: The stadium ranks as perhaps the best preserved of all the ones surviving from antiquity. Built around an arena 270 meters long and 54 meters wide with semi-circular ends, it has 22 rows of seats and could accommodate more than 30,000 spectators.
Used for athletic contests, but after the theatre was damaged in the 7th century earthquake the eastern end of the arena began to be used for games, circuses and wild beast shows. In the Roman period it was the scene of a large number of athletic competitions and festivals. The shows were held with permission of Rome and the granting of such permission was regarded as a honour. The games were Pythian, not Olympic. |
