For #AncientSiteSunday the #Hellenistic theatre at Pergamon, #Türkiye, built in the 3rd century BC, alterations were made in the #Roman period. It's one of the steepest known ancient theatres. The capacity was about 10,000 spectators.

A full shot of the ruins of an ancient theatre, located on a hillside. The theatre's steep tiered seating structure is clearly visible, constructed of light gray stone blocks, weathering evident in various tones. The hillside surrounding the theatre is covered with grass, creating a contrast between the man-made stone structures and the natural landscape. Sections of crumbling stone walls and foundations are scattered throughout the grassy slopes.

For #ancientsitesunday this stunning aerial view of the Parco degli Acquedotti, south east of #Rome. The park is named for its seven aqueducts which supplied the city with water.

Roman aqueduct with large stone arches casting long shadows across a grassy field. The structure runs diagonally through the landscape, with rows of trees and open green spaces stretching into the distance under a partly cloudy sky.
