Unsuccessful photo shoot for Happy Caturday 19 April 2025 “Flowers.” The camellias were the only spring flowers in bloom that were definitely not toxic to cats. Despite clearly dropping Greenies into bowl in (nicer better lit locations) they jumped down straightaway. Here in a comfortable food mooching locale they could hardly could find the treats in - or outside but near! the bowl. But hey, cats, some pix must surely be worth keeping.
Teatro Antico di Segesta (Calatafimi Segesta, Sicilia)
Il Teatro Antico è un teatro greco dell'antica città di Segesta e ubicato nell'area archeologica di Calatafimi Segesta, comune italiano della provincia di Trapani, in Sicilia.
Ubicato sulla cima del monte Barbaro, l'imponente Teatro Antico venne costruito nel II sec. a.C. quando Segesta era già libera città sotto i Romani, ed è considerato uno dei teatri più belli del periodo classico tanto per lo stato di conservazione quanto per la sua posizione spettacolare sulle colline trapanesi.
Il teatro è una costruzione in pietra calcarea locale il cui accesso avveniva attraverso una strada lastricata. Esso poteva ospitare nella cavea 4000 persone ed era suddiviso orizzontalmente da un largo corridoio detto diazoma delimitato a sua volta da sedili dotati di schienale e, verticalmente, da sei scalette che formano sette cunei (kèrkides) di dimensioni variabili.
Recenti rinvenimenti hanno documentato l'esistenza di varie altre costruzioni, compreso un serbatoio d'acqua che certamente doveva servire per le necessità del pubblico e degli attori. All'orchestra si accedeva dagli ingressi laterali, detti pàrodoi. Pochi filari di blocchi permettono di ricostruire la pianta della scena (skené), un edificio a due piani in stile dorico e ionico con due corpi laterali avanzati (paraskènia) ornati da altorilievi fatti da immagini di satiri.
Nella prima età Imperiale romana il teatro subì delle trasformazioni: lo spazio dell'orchestra fu ampliato eliminando una fila di sedili e ingrandendo la fronte scenica. In età medievale (secoli XII e XIII) le superfici del teatro e della strada furono occupate da un vasto settore dell'abitato, come documenta la grande casa a due piani visibile nella media cavea occidentale.
Ancient Theatre of Segesta (Calatafimi Segesta, Sicily)
The Ancient Theatre is a Greek theatre of the ancient city of Segesta and located in the archaeological area of Calatafimi Segesta, an Italian municipality in the province of Trapani, in Sicily.
Located on the top of Mount Barbaro, the imposing Ancient Theatre was built in the 2nd century BC when Segesta was already a free city under the Romans, and is considered one of the most beautiful theatres of the classical period both for its state of conservation and for its spectacular position on the hills of Trapani.
The theatre is a construction in local limestone which was accessed via a paved road. It could accommodate 4000 people in the cavea and was divided horizontally by a large corridor called diazoma delimited in turn by seats with backrests and, vertically, by six steps that form seven wedges (kèrkides) of variable dimensions.
Recent discoveries have documented the existence of various other buildings, including a water tank that certainly served the needs of the audience and the actors. The orchestra was accessed from the side entrances, called pàrodoi. A few rows of blocks allow us to reconstruct the plan of the stage (skené), a two-story building in Doric and Ionic style with two advanced lateral bodies (paraskènia) decorated with high reliefs made of images of satyrs. In the early Roman Imperial age, the theater underwent transformations: the space of the orchestra was expanded by eliminating a row of seats and enlarging the stage front. In the Middle Ages (12th and 13th centuries) the surfaces of the theater and the street were occupied by a large sector of the inhabited area, as documented by the large two-story house visible in the western media cavea.
