These are the ruins of the theater where nearly all the public events took place. I think they said that it had seating for 12,000-15,000. It was really pretty amazing to sit where some of the earliest believers may have sat during the spread of Christianity. This is the city where Phillip the evangelist was martyred. Unfortunately, we did not have nearly enough time to visit all the ruins here or to spend a large amount of time contemplating it's history.
