As it stood in AD 161

What Odeon of Herodes Atticus looked like in its prime.

A semi-circular stone theatre cut into the Acropolis slope with concentric tiers of marble seating facing a broad flat orchestra and a tall three-storey stone stage front punctuated by large arched openings and niches. The exterior shows a long arcade of repetitive stone arches; the facing is pale Pentelic limestone and marble, weathered but massive. In its prime the cavea was covered by a wooden roof of cedar timbers; the open forecourt is paved in stone beneath a wide sky.
