		The cavea is covered by radial, vaulted spaces and the external perimeter is delimited by the ambulatory (ambulacrum), a wide curvilinear corridor with a height of 5.50 m, covered by a barrel vault in concrete that supported a secondary corridor.

		L’ima cavea era divisa dall’orchestra da un passaggio orizzontale e da un parapetto (balteus) che si interrompeva al centro per consentire il passaggio: cio` fa pensare che nell’orchestra vi fossero i seggi per le persone piu` ragguardevoli.
		L’archeologo vide, nel tratto della parete della crypta prospiciente la cavea, un prospetto architettonico costituito da un loggiato a semicolonne con, negli intercolumni, finte nicchie alternativamente coronate da archi e da timpani triangolari.
		Qunto alla pianta e` da ricordare che i teatri greci avevano una cavea che superava il mezzo cerchio (circa 240 gradi) e l’orchestra era circolare; tale sviluppo dell’orchestra era motivato dal fatto che le evoluzioni dei Cori – che tanta parte hanno nell’economia delle tragedie greche – avvenivano proprio in quello spazio.

		A Byzantine basalt street leads the visitor directly in front of the ruins of Area B, all of which are enveloped by the spectacular theater cavea.
		This basalt road was evidently part of an auxiliary decumanus that branched off from the main decumanus east-west street that ran from the Roman bridge on the east up to the western vault, over which the cardo maximus street ran north-south.
		While exposing more of the mosaic floor located just to the north of the cavea and adjoining the north side of the Byzantine street, the excavators found that a mosaic pavement extended north and east, forming a 12 m by 12 m plaza.
