Detail of carving of Judgement of Paris on one of the
Detail of carving of Judgement of Paris on one of the decorative panels in the facade of the Roman theatre at Sabratha, one of the most remarkable in the Roman world. This stone carving shows Hermes and Paris on the right. The facade of the theatre consists of three tiers, with 108 fluted Corinthian columns that rise over 20 m above the stage. The stage is 43m long, 9m wide and overlooks the orchestra area. Three large concave niches show the personification of Rome and Sabratha (central panel), the Nine Muses (Left panel), and the Three Graces and Judgement of Paris (right panel). The theatre seated 5000 and today can seat 1500. Rebuilt by Italian archaeologists Giacomo Caputo and Giacomo Guidi in the 1920s, the original theatre was begun in AD190 under the reign of Commodus. It was still used in the 4th century AD but was destroyed by an earthquake in AD365
