This small, enclosed theater was used for concerts as well as political events. The theater contained 23 tiered rows of seating in a semi-circular shape, which could accommodate up to 1450 spectators.
The Odeion, a small theater with a stage, seating and an orchestra, had a double function. It was used for Senate meetings and as a concert hall. Constructed in the 2nd century A.D. by two wealthy citizens, it could seat 1,500 spectators. The members of the Senate were chosen from the aristocratic class and important decisions and city matters were discussed here. If you have time, you can walk into the Odeion and sit on the stone seats.

When tourists write how the amphitheater is well preserved you can only smile. If you look at the photo from 1957, you can see that only the back wall is partially preserved, and in front of it is a pile of debris and a grass-covered stage. Asia minor is a seismically active region and Hierapolis was destroyed by an earthquake in Roman times. Recurring earthquakes destroyed ancient ruins until the great Thracian earthquake toppled the remains of the ancient city in 1354. This" well-preserved " amphitheater is the result of half a century of work by Italian archaeologists from the so-called MAIER mission. Only the clearing of the ground of the auditorium and the orchestra lasted from 1957 to 1980! This is the most important stage, because you can disrupt the cultural layers, distort the Dating of the wreckage and ultimately not build an amphitheater as it was under the Emperor Septimius Severus. A sad example is the excavation of Troy by the world's most famous architect Heinrich Schliemann, who unearthed Troy, but not Homer's, skipping it in a fit of excitement. Therefore, several generations of Italian archaeologists initially led by Paolo Veronese (interesting coincidence?) they worked here for a long, long time. Veronese made an important decision to lay out all the artifacts found near the theater, then catalog and collect them. The cataloging of artefacts took place twice in Turin, because the number of marble elements that once made up the frontescena in the theater of Septimius Cervera is estimated at four thousand pieces. The most impressive element of the theater-porticos with columns frontescena didn`t exist in 2007, only the back wall of stone blocks.
