What I found interesting about that theater is when you sit high centre at the rear you have a tremendous view of Etna.

The difference between the two is greek is 1/2 and roman is 2/3 circle right?
Quiz - Jona Lendering - 12-09-2012
Quote:The difference between the two is greek is 1/2 and roman is 2/3 circle right?The other way round. Greek plays were focused on the orchestra (hence 2/3 round) and Roman plays on the stage (hence (1/2 round).

Quiz - Robert Vermaat - 12-18-2012
Byron initially missed it, but he now knows it's his turn. Give the man some time.
