Soli, the theatre
Description
Large squared stone blocks are laid in stepped courses across the centre of the view, with a tumble of smaller rough stones above them on the left. In front is bare sandy ground, and a rocky outcrop fills the lower right corner. Beyond, a pale rising ridge reaches a flat horizon with a faint strip of water at the far left.

- Large dressed stone blocks are laid in stepped courses across the middle of the frame, with a heap of rounded rubble stones behind them. The excavated ground in front is bare and sloping, and an open dry slope rises to a ridge beyond, with a thin strip of sea at the far left and a cut earth face at lower right. Small dark shapes on the ridge are too indistinct to identify with certainty.
