BOULEUTERION
(ODEION) |
|
| |
|
|
| |
 To
the north of the agora is the small theater, the
Odeion. According to an inscription found in the
digs the notable Ephesian family of Publius Vedius
Antonius and his wife Flavia Papiana built the
Odeion for a Council Chamber in 150 AD. In this
structure built at the foot of Mt. Panayir, there
are the three areas usually seen in theaters: the
cavea (seats), orchestra, and scene. The cavea and
orchestra are semi-circular in shape and the scene
was most probably two-story. Since there is no drain
for rainwater in the center, it is assumed that the
odeion was closed in. It could seat 1400 people. It
was used for both concerts and council meetings |
