Up Egypt » Alexandria-Roman Amphitheater Slideshow

The Roman Theatre in Kom El Dikka (pronounced Dakka), or the odeum as it is sometimes referred to. During Ptolemaic times, this area was known as the Park of Pan and Roman baths, villas and an amphitheatre were built here. Today you can see this theatre with it's marble seating for 700-800 people. Gladiatorial games were once held here and later chariot races and there is an acoustic spot where your voice is magnified if you stand on it.
