Excavated stone walls at the theatre at Soli, with a narrow central opening framed by a wooden beam — Photograph: John Lindros, Swedish Cyprus Expedition, 1927. Medelhavsmuseet, Stockholm, C00466. Public domain (CC0).

Description

Low walls of large squared stone blocks run across the frame, with a narrow central opening topped by a wooden beam and post. Behind them, rougher earthen walls and a flat, pale surface lead to a distant dark horizon under a hazy sky. Low stone blocks line the foreground, and the bare ground in front is empty of people or equipment.

Description, scan 2: Low ruined walls of dressed stone frame a central gap with a stone lintel, forming a passage opening between them. Large blocks along the base of both walls form a bench-like course, and the foreground is bare, pale ground with scattered small stones. Beyond the flat landscape, a dark band at the horizon may be water.
