Roman Theatre

Overview

During the 1930s, the Roman Theatre of Trieste was discovered following the removal of medieval dwellings built close to the walls. Today, the theatre has been renovated and partially reconstructed: visitors can appreciate the cavea, the tiers of seats for spectators, that rest on the hill of San Giusto, the orchestra below and part of the scaena, with the wings adorned with niches adorned with statues of members of the imperial family and important members of the urban community, including Quintus Petronius Modestus, prosecutor and flamen of Trajan, who at the beginning of the 2nd century contributed to the restoration of the theatre, as can be seen from the mould of two twin inscriptions preserved in the archaeological area. The first phase of the theatre can be traced back to the Augustan period.
