Soli: the theatre
Description
A long, flat-topped stone wall runs diagonally across the frame, its face built of rough blocks and rubble. Loose boulders and stones lie on the ground in front of it and along its top edge, with cleared dark soil beside it. A wooden fence post with strands of barbed wire stands at the right, and a steep rock-cut bank rises behind the excavated area.

- A long wall of large cut blocks, with a flat top and its face partly buried in rubble, runs diagonally across the excavated ground. Loose pale stone blocks and smaller stones lie on the slope in the foreground, and a wooden fence post with barbed wire stands at the right edge. Behind the wall, a steep cut face of earth and rock rises to the top of the frame, with a further low stone course on the left.
