| Popis: | Remains of a recently excavated small theatre at the foot of a fortified hill, identified with Aitolian Makyneia, were studied on the basis of electronic surveying, CAD, graphical and analytical approximation techniques. This theatre, of the 4th or 3rd century BC, partly excavated on the hillside and built of large sandstone slabs, has an unusual shape, with its koilon consisting of a curvilinear wing of 14 rows of seats and an adjacent linear wing of three rows of blocks forming a single-row proedria. Geometric modelling of the theatre remains on the basis of graphical, and especially of analytical techniques, indicates that the circular wing of the koilon consists of equidistant, concentric rows of seats based on a design arc of 90° for the 1st row, with the corresponding chord normal to the linear wing. Possible poor remains of a skene were found oblique (81°) to the linear wing. |
