Column fragment from the Roman theatre of Kom El-Dikka
Column fragment from the Roman theatre of Kom El-Dikka still in situ. The theatre was built in the 2nd century AD and appears to be the only Roman amphitheatre of its kind found in Egypt. The 13 rows of seats could seat up to 800 spectators and are still preserved. The complex also included galleries, mosaics, marble seats and columns, two of which are still standing near the theatre.
