Theatre of Epidaurus :
Dating back to 4th century BCE, this theatre was used for entertainment and religious expression through music, poetry, and dance. During the 5th century, plays based on tragedies and popular myths were common.
This theatre was semicircle built onto a hillside of tiered seats that over looked the orkhestra, which is the performance area at the center. Rising behind the orchestra is a two tiered stage of a vertical skene. Architectural back drops were available for performances and screened the backstage area by the prosecenium.
There were ramps that connected the proscenium to the stage for performers with lateral passageways allowing access to the stage for preformers.
The theatre had many steps, giving access to the 55 rows of seats. The uniformed wedge-shaped sections allowed for a crowd of 12000 spectators.
The Dying Gallic Trumpeter:
This statue lies in Rome, dating back to 220 BCE when it was created. This life like figure is made of marble and sits at a height of 36 inches.
His hair looks to be roughly handled. His face, bone structure, mustache, and eyebrows are idealized images the Greek might thought of about themselves. He wore a torc around him, which was something that the Gauls wore in battle to identify themselves. He was a wonder Celtic solider. This is significant because of the emotion on his face and that it gives of to the views. It created “expressionism”, another characteristic of Hellenistic Art.
