Kom el-Dikka

More than 30 years of removal have revealed numerous Roman remaining parts including this preserved theater with displays, segments of mosaic-deck, and marble seats for up to 800 attendees. In Ptolemaic times, this territory was the Park of Pan and a joy garden. The venue at one point may have been roofed over to fill in as an Odeon for melodic exhibitions. Engravings propose that it was now and then additionally utilized for wrestling challenges.

The venue remained with thirteen semi-roundabout levels of white marble that was imported from Europe. Its segments are of green marble imported from Asia Minor, and red rock imported from Aswan. The wings on one or the other side of the stage are designed with mathematical mosaic clearing. The dusty dividers of the channels, from delving in the upper east side of the Odeon, are layered with unprecedented measures of potsherds. Going down out of the Kom, you can see the generous curves and dividers in stone, the block of the Roman showers, and the remaining parts of Roman houses.
