The stone stage, floored with wood, was decorated along its entire length with square and semicircular niches. Behind it were the remains of the scaena fronts - an ornate structure often three storeys high - which closed off the semicircular theater and provided background for the actors during the performance. The theater had five entrances: three entrances leading into the seating area, and two others at the end of the stage. All the entrances were connected by a vaulted hallway around the circumference.
