Roman Theater Uncovered at Base of Jerusalem's Western Wall
(AP) Ilan Ben Zion - Israeli archaeologists on Monday announced the discovery of a Roman-era theater in Jerusalem's Old City that abuts the Western Wall. The unfinished semi-circular theater is believed to date to the second or third centuries. It might have been designed to seat 200 people. The excavations have exposed the first row of seats, orchestra area, and part of the stage. The excavations have also exposed eight previously uncovered rows of stones in the Temple Mount's western retaining wall.
