Roman Theatre of Florence

It was located under the current Palazzo Vecchio and Palazzo Gondi, with the auditorium facing Piazza della Signoria and along the Piazza San Firenze and Via dei Leoni.

Archeological digs have resumed recently, notably in 2006-2007 by Riccardo Francovich.

The building, which has been dated to 1st century AD, was a semicircular shape with a very large capacity, demonstrating the demographic development of the city at the time.

Estimates place its capacity at around 15,000 spectators, the same as the Teatro Marcello of Rome.
