Aspendos Ruins

The theatre was actually built in the 2nd century AD,during the reign of the roman emperor Marcus Aurelius(161_180 AD),on the basis of the project created by zeno-a Greek architect born in Aspendos.The greek and latin inscriptions which are placed above the the entrances to skene building state that two brothers-Curtius Crispinus and Curtius Auspicatus dedicated this theatre ”to the gods of this country and to the imperial house”.Despite the fact that the theatre was build in the roman period,the building displays many features typical to Greek theatres.The auditorium rests in part against a hillside.Moreover,a horseshoe shape of the audotorium also is a greek feature.On the other hand,according to roman standards ,the theatre is cut of from the outside world by the skene building.Also the barrel vaulted substructure is a typical Roman idea.
