The Theater of Dionysus in Athens, which dates back to the 6th century BCE, originally had a capacity of about 17,000 spectators. It was built into the southern slope of the Acropolis and features a semi-circular design, with the orchestra at its center. The theater is considered one of the earliest and most significant in ancient Greece, serving as the primary venue for dramatic performances during the Dionysia festival. Its size and design influenced the construction of later theaters throughout the Greek and Roman worlds.
