Description

Excavated remains at the theatre at Soli: a low wall of rubble and cut stone stands in the centre, with a long fallen block in the foreground and more walls and stone blocks spread across the pale, stony ground. Two people, one in a dark vest, stand to the right of the wall among the stones, giving a sense of scale. Bare earth and loose stones fill the foreground.
