Epidaurus Theater and Colosseum exemplifies the classic artistic inheritance in many ways. Epidaurus Theater and Colosseum were both made for entertainment just like our amphitheaters today. Epiduarus Theater was built for performing plays. The middle center is called orchestra and most action took place within here (Janson 138). The seats were curved around the orchestra and went up like a staircase. Hundreds of people could be seated and play can be seen without much difficulty.
