Theatre at Soli: stone steps during excavation
Description
A close view of large cut limestone blocks forming a flight of steps, with worn treads and a rough tooled block resting on the upper course. Loose stones and dark soil fill the gaps at the lower left, and a few rows of further seating are faintly visible in the upper left background. No people are shown and no scale or labels are visible.
