The theatre in Segobriga, Spain, 2007. Construction of the theatre probably began during the reign of the Emperor Tiberius; it was completed in the Flavian period, circa AD 79. The well-preserved tiers of seats lie on the incline of the hill. The cavea was divided into three sections, which, in turn, were sub-divided to differentiate between the inhabitant social classes. The upper cavea was built on the city wall through a vault used as a street. Behind the orchestra pit was a stage decorated with two levels of columns and marble sculptures; the goddess Roma was located in the central position.
