From the second half of the 5th century BC, one of the most notable architectural constructions was the building of theaters, and one of the most outstanding examples of these buildings is the Theater of Dionysus, which was erected in the 4th century BC.

The theater included a rear area for the actors to change costumes. The spectators were located near an open-air space, which was generally the site chosen for the construction of theaters. At the end of the 5th century BC, the original marble platforms were replaced by stone tiers. In the center of the first rows of tiers were 67 seats that were later made of decorated marble and were reserved for priests and kings.
