Teramo's Roman Theatre, constructed during the Augustan era, was a gem of the Roman world, adorned with decorations that amazed in 30 BC. Its capacity could accommodate a large audience, though the exact number is not specified in the source material.
After five centuries, the theatre was concealed by the buildings that followed. It was not until the 20th century that the theatre was rediscovered, when the scaffolding for the Duomo, one of the structures that covered it, was demolished. The site, now a park and part of the National Archaeological Museum of Teramo, will be further restored by 2027.
