Detail from the mosaic of the Roman theatre scene at Kom El-Dikka

Geometric mosaic from the original floor of the Roman theatre at Kom El-Dikka. The theatre was built in the 2nd century A.D. 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.
