This is a list of Extant Ancient Greek Theatre Sites and any which were adapted by the Romans.
1. Introduction
Western Turkey, a region historically known as Asia Minor and Ionia, holds a distinguished place in the annals of ancient Greek civilisation. This area was once dotted with numerous flourishing city-states, each a vibrant hub of cultural expression. Among the most significant cultural traditions that took root and thrived in this landscape was the dramatic art form. Ancient Greek theatres were not merely venues for entertainment; they were deeply woven into the fabric of civic and religious life. These architectural marvels served as gathering places for dramatic performances, musical recitals, and important public assemblies, often with strong ties to the worship of Dionysos, the god of theatre.1 Characteristically, these theatres were ingeniously constructed into the natural slopes of hillsides, a design choice that both optimised the acoustics for the audience and offered breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes.5 The sheer number of these Greek theatres across Western Turkey speaks volumes about the region's profound Hellenic heritage and the paramount importance of communal and performance arts in their society. This widespread presence indicates a sophisticated level of cultural development that predates the arrival and influence of the Roman Empire.
Following the expansion of the Roman Empire into Asia Minor, a significant transformation began to unfold for many existing Greek structures, including these cherished theatres. Roman authorities and local populations alike recognised the value of these established venues and undertook adaptations to align them with Roman tastes and functional requirements.2 These Roman modifications often involved alterations to key architectural elements such as the stage (scaena), the orchestra, and the seating area (cavea). Furthermore, new features were introduced to accommodate distinctly Roman forms of entertainment, such as the thrilling gladiatorial combats and the spectacle of animal hunts.8 This period marked a fascinating interplay between the traditional Hellenistic design principles and the emerging Roman architectural styles, resulting in the creation of unique Graeco-Roman theatres that bore the hallmarks of both civilisations.2
This report endeavours to identify the ancient Greek drama theatres located in Western Turkey that have survived to the present day in an archaeologically extant state and which also bear evidence of adaptation during the Roman period. It aims to provide a comprehensive catalogue of these remarkable sites, detailing their initial Greek construction, the subsequent Roman modifications they underwent, their current archaeological status, and any available visual documentation that attests to their existence and features. By examining these theatres, the report will also analyse the common types of Roman adaptations that were implemented, offering valuable insights into the cultural and architectural exchange that transpired between the ancient Greek and Roman civilisations in this historically rich region.
2. Defining Criteria
For the purpose of this report, the geographical scope of "Western Turkey" is defined as encompassing the Aegean Region and those parts of the Marmara and Mediterranean regions that were historically integral to ancient Ionia, Aeolis, Lydia, Caria, Lycia, and Pamphylia.12 This extensive area includes the modern-day provinces of İzmir, Aydın, Muğla, Çanakkale, Manisa, Denizli, Antalya, and also incorporates portions of Balıkesir and Bursa.
The theatres considered within this report must meet the fundamental criterion of having been originally constructed as Greek theatres. This implies that their initial construction period falls within the Hellenistic period (approximately 323 BCE to 30 BCE) or even earlier. Furthermore, these structures must exhibit architectural characteristics that are typically associated with ancient Greek drama theatres. These features generally include a cavea with a horseshoe shape or semicircular design, often built into the natural slope of a hillside to leverage the terrain for seating. A circular or semi-circular orchestra served as the primary performance space, and the stage was typically defined by a relatively simple building known as the skene.3
In addition to their Greek origins, the theatres included in this list must provide clear archaeological evidence of adaptations and modifications that were carried out during the Roman Imperial period, which spanned roughly from 27 BCE to 395 CE. These adaptations could manifest in various forms, including structural changes or functional alterations made to suit Roman preferences. Examples of such modifications might include the addition of a permanent stone stage, the construction of an elaborate scaenae frons, changes to the orchestra such as lowering it or adding a protective parapet for gladiatorial contests, expansions to the seating capacity, the addition of special seating areas like imperial boxes, alterations to the entrances, or the incorporation of other features that reflect Roman architectural styles or were intended to accommodate Roman forms of entertainment.2
Finally, to be included in this report, each theatre must possess current archaeological evidence that confirms its extant status. This means that significant structural remains of the theatre must still be visible and identifiable through archaeological excavation and ongoing research.13 The term "extant" in this context signifies that the theatre is not merely a historical reference or a site documented in ancient texts, but rather a physical location where tangible evidence of its ancient structure persists above or below ground.

4. Analysis of Roman Architectural and Functional Adaptations
The Roman influence on the ancient Greek theatres of Western Turkey is evident in a range of architectural modifications and functional adaptations. These changes reflect the distinct preferences and entertainment practices of the Roman civilisation, often building upon the existing Hellenistic structures to create venues that served new purposes and catered to larger audiences.
Common architectural modifications included significant alterations to the stage area. Roman adaptations frequently involved the construction of a permanent, often more monumental, stone stage. The addition of a multi-story scaenae frons became a hallmark of Roman theatres, providing an elaborate and imposing backdrop for performances. These facades were typically adorned with a wealth of decorative elements, including columns, niches that housed statues, and intricate sculptural reliefs.5 Furthermore, features like the pulpitum, a raised platform extending from the stage, and the proskenion, the front of the stage, were often incorporated or modified to enhance the performance space and its visibility to the audience.5
The orchestra, originally the primary performance area in Greek theatres, also underwent notable transformations under Roman influence. One common modification was the lowering of the orchestra floor, which could improve sightlines to the stage, especially in larger venues. In many cases, a parapet wall, known as a balteus, was added to separate the orchestra from the seating area. This was often a safety measure, particularly in theatres that were adapted to host the more visceral forms of Roman entertainment like gladiatorial contests and animal hunts.5 In the Hierapolis theatre, a particularly unique adaptation saw the orchestra being modified to hold water, enabling the staging of aquatic displays, a testament to Roman engineering ingenuity.21 In some instances, the entire orchestra was repurposed as an arena-pit to fully accommodate these spectacles.16
The seating area, or cavea, of these theatres often experienced significant changes, primarily aimed at increasing the overall capacity. Roman architects frequently extended the seating upwards, sometimes adding an upper tier known as the summa cavea. These expansions often required the construction of elaborate vaulted substructures to support the additional seating.5 Marble was a favored material for upgrading the seating, reflecting Roman emphasis on grandeur and comfort.6 Additionally, prominent seating sections, such as imperial boxes (tribunalia), were sometimes introduced to provide distinguished viewing areas for emperors and other high-ranking officials.6 Finally, the entrances to the theatres also saw modifications. Roman theatres often featured more structured and efficient entrance systems, including covered and vaulted passageways known as vomitoria, designed to facilitate the movement of large crowds into and out of the seating areas.5
Beyond these architectural changes, the most profound functional adaptation was the incorporation of features specifically designed to accommodate Roman forms of entertainment. Gladiatorial combats (munera) and animal hunts (venationes) were immensely popular in Roman society, and many of these adapted Greek theatres were modified to host these thrilling spectacles.11 This often involved transforming the orchestra into an arena suitable for combat, adding protective barriers to ensure the safety of the spectators, and in some cases, providing specialized access points for animals. The adaptation of the Hierapolis theatre for elaborate aquatic shows (naumachiae) stands out as a particularly ambitious example of catering to Roman entertainment preferences.21
Several underlying trends and reasons drove these modifications. The influence of distinct Roman architectural styles, characterised by their scale, symmetry, and innovative use of arches and vaults, played a significant role in shaping these adaptations.2 Furthermore, the Roman audience's preference for different types of performances, particularly the excitement of gladiatorial and animal contests, necessitated functional changes to the theatres.2 The larger populations of Roman cities often demanded an increase in the seating capacity of public venues like theatres.5 Imperial patronage and the civic pride of wealthy Roman citizens also fuelled the construction and renovation of these public buildings, serving as a demonstration of Roman power and cultural influence.5 The consistent pattern of these Roman adaptations across numerous theatres in Western Turkey underscores a deliberate effort to integrate these important civic spaces into the broader Roman cultural landscape. The shift towards accommodating gladiatorial and animal contests, in particular, signifies a fundamental change in the primary purpose of these venues, moving beyond the traditional focus on dramatic arts that characterised the Greek world.
