The Theater at Stobi

Elizabeth R. Gebhard

This volume explores Stobi's marble theater, uncovered in 1924, revealing its construction in the late 1st or early 2nd century AD.

Post c. 300 AD, apparent earthquake damage led the cavea and scene-building to be repaired and the orchestra to be enclosed as a permanent arena. READ MORE
