One of the best preserved Roman theatres in the world reveals itself only after conquering the fortress built around it.
In those times, it could accomodate 15,000 people. The roof of the stage was made of wood, while the rest was covered by silk. Even more incredible, during performances the spectators were treated to a spray of perfumed water. How much I would have wished to attend such a performance, see the theatre as the Romans did, I whispered while walking the stone seats. Every now and then, I discovered a Roman game engraved into the seats, apparently there were long waits or people were bored by some performances. Little could they have known how their theatre would have looked some 2,000 years on, and how breathtaking just visiting the Bosra amphitheatre would be for us.
